Yes. I have it on my 330. It requires a water heater set up for dual operation. I don't think you could convert one as a DIY.

You are hooked up to shore power correct?
Or running the genny?

Nope. If the breaker at the 120v panel is "on", you should have hot water.
Check for voltage at the thermostat w/a multimeter.
If you have voltage to the t-stat, and at the element, replace the element.
If you have voltage to the t-stat, and not at the element, replace the t-stat.
If you have no voltage at all, check for voltage at the breaker.

I just bought a Seward water heater. It has a circuit breaker in the unit that could be tripped

It's relatively easy to accidentally cook the element if you leave the breaker on at the end of the season, then winterize the water system, drain the hot water heater and forget to turn off the breaker. Come spring, you plug into shore power with the breaker on and if you haven't recharged the water system/hot water tank the element being out of the water can overheat and burn out.
Just a possibility...:huh:
