Need help w/ water heaters

I just had my Georgetown motorhome winterized and then we had to use the coach. So I flushed the lines and then turned both hot water heaters on with the on/off switch outside. They are not heating up. I even tried turning them on Gas. Still not working. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Did you switch back the wh bypass so your tank has water? Have you tryed the stove to make sure you have gas?

X 2. I think you are still in bypass position.

If you turned the electric heat on while the tank was empty you probably burned up the heat element. I did the same thing myself a few years ago. You will still be able to heat with gas. Open the pressure relief valve. If no water comes out your bypass valve is closed.

On a positive note... Whoever winterized your coach might have turned off the electric heater.. there is a switch under the water heater panel by the gas inlet. Make sure after the tank is filled to turn it on.. I always flip mine off when I winterize.. Just in Case..
