   I was told when I bought my r-pod how to use the switches for the water heater, so if someone can please tell me if this is correct so I don't blow myself up....lol! Newbie here if you could not tell!!!

FOR GAS OPERATION: Make sure gas is on, turn the switch on inside the camper, and keep the switch in the off position inside the WH panel outside the camper.

FOR ELECTRIC OPERATION: Turn switch outside in the WH panel to on and keep switch inside camper off.

ELECTRIC AND GAS OPERATION FOR FASTER HEATING OF WATER: Make sure gas is on, turn on switch inside camper and then turn switch inside WH panel outside to on.

Please let me know if these are correct, and if not please let me know the correct methods of using the water heater. It is a suburban water heater model #SW6DE in an R-Pod 180.

	For electric and gas operation, it doesn't matter which you turn on first. Make sure you fill the WH tank (by turning on a hot water faucet until water comes out) before turning on the electric switch so that you don't burn out the heating element. The gas heat doesn't require this precaution, but you're wasting gas if you don't fill the tank.
