Where’s my water heater?!??

2016 StarCraft travel star galaxy 335 RLK. It’s a 39’ bumper pull with 3 slides. Water heater stopped working and I have no idea where it is. Any troubleshooting advice is appreciated!

Here's the owners manual for your camper:

Easiest way to find it is from the outside. There will be a squarish metal cover/door with a hole with some heavy metal screen on it. Top center there will be a slot with a washer like item sticking out. That's the door latch.

Thanks for the link, I actually have the owners manual. Unfortunately it doesn't say where the tank is located!!! Just describes the system.

OK, I'll look for that. Thanks!

They do a thorough job of tucking them in the tightest spots, especially in tt's.

Look inside and opposite the outer access. That's where the valves are likely located also.

It could be behind a false wall. Ours is under the bathroom sink behind a false wall. As mentioned the square metal lid on the outside of the camper is a dead giveaway.

I’m sure you checked this but you might check the breaker and make sure it’s not tripped.

Google "RV Water Heater Door", images.
Finding it from the outside is the easiest way, I think too.

Found the water heater. It was outside between the 2 slides on the drivers side. I’ve been hooked to city water for a while with no issues. But now I discovered that if I turn the water pump on the water heater works. Maybe city pressure has dropped? I have an online flow regulator. Maybe I should remove it.
