If you currently have both on (using gas and electric) to heat the water, you wont know if one of them isnt working. I would suggest you test them both, one at a time just to be sure. Turn off the gas, and then see if the electric maintains the temp of the water (you could wait a period of a few days to see, or you could run the hot water until it goes cold, then see if it heats up again). If you had the electric on before (when the tank was empty) it certainly has burnt out. Its alot easier (and cheaper) to heat it with electric (when you are hooked up to shore power) than to use propane (you will need to refill your propane tanks periodically, but thats a waste of time and propane if you can just use electric). If it were me, I'd A) want to know if they both work, B) use electric whenever possible. If the element is dead, its relatively cheap, and pretty easy to fix (you can even get the element at places like Lowes) or you can order it from Amazon or something. I'd imagine less than $20. ***Should you need to change the element, first, and this is important, disconnect the shore power source.***
