If they are on outside of tank , I'm thinking your new tank has motor-aid feature as well. That is used to circulate coolant through from engine of motorhome while driving and it keeps water heated. That feature usually adds to price of tank. Hope you didn't pay for some feature you"ll never use.
If you've been using it in past on hydro then it should be on, unless someone had a reason to shut it off, like winterizing or something. You normally find it on the side of that cover, but may be on top. Hard to see it usually to confirm it's on, so I grab a small mirror and flashlight . Are you familiar with a multimeter and do you have one or access to one?
The two switches control the water heater either in the gas or electric mode. The switch with the lights would be for the gas operation, and the switch without lights would be for the electric mode. Prior to operating either switch, make sure the water tank is full of water. Turn your hot water tap on, if water comes out, tank is full. Connect trailer to 110 Volt source, turn circuit breakers on, Place switch without lights to on position. If water does not heat in 45 minutes, Install new heat proble. The gas mode should be repaired by someone that is familiar with that system. Atwood can provide you with a local service center.
Does yours have the little cut-out diode looking thing in the plastic jacket installed between power wire and thermostat? If yes, remove it from the circuit and connect female spade of wire, to male spade of thermostat,(just removing it to by-pass it) and try it now. Let me know what happens.
there is a big diffrence between a gas and an electric water heaters,, what you have on here is a 6 gallon water heater, it will take longer for electric to keep up hot water then it would for a gas water heater,,
