Yup....found the fuses above the main breakers....they just weren't labelled correctly?? solved both problems....little confused as to why the "out" slide control is on the same fuse as the water heater...seems odd. Off to track a new problem....I have utility lights that have no switches and won't turn off. One is by the radiator, one in the battery/inverter compartment and another in front, by the generator under the "hood". The switch for the other "luggage compartment" lights is off and now my awning won't retract?? Thsnks again for all the help though!

Happy New Year all! Just came back from second trip in our 2004 Fleetwood Providence 39L. Wifey used hot water for a shower one day. No untoward events I can think of but the next time she went for hot water there was none.
Spent some time troubleshooting and found there's no power coming to the unit when I hit the switches up front (Either LP or electric). Everything points to a blown fuse/breaker but I can't find one tripped. There's the main breakers just under the bed that are fine....Is there another set of fuses I'm missing?
On another note, one of the bedroom slides won't go out....came in fine and I do hear the motor engage when I press the switch to bring it in, but nothing happens when I press the "out" on the same switch. Also, no breakers tripped but can't find any fuses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks in advance!

You have an Atwood water heater which uses 12V DC to control the electric & propane heating
The DC triggers the 120V AC to electric element via a DC Relay
The DC controls ALL functions
12V DC comes from a FUSED source...so you have probably blown a fuse
Slides .....worked coming IN but now nothing to extend.
Could have blown a fuse, bad controller or bad SWITCH
He has a 2004. That puts his water heater in the time where Atwood still had separate controls for 120 and LP. Just because he states he flips the switches up front for LP or 120 does NOT point to a newer all 12 volt control system. A LOT of OEMs ran the 120 wall switch next to the LP On/Off switch. He may have 2 problems. He needs to state Brand and MODEL of his Heater. Doug
OP stated:
No power to water heater (Gas OR Electric)
3E models do use separate controls ---Independent sources of power/t-stats etc
4E models use SAME for both electric/propane
OP's doesn't heat via electric OR propane....suggest Common System (4E)
3E model and BOTH not working......highly unlikely since they are NOT connected or have common controls
