First things first. Can he get water to flow from any hot water taps?

Check the by-pass for the hot water heater... might have the valves all shut off.

If you have water flowing ... but it's not getting hot...
Check to see if there is a "after-market" gas shut-off valve.

if the RV was stored for any length of time ...
Check to see if some bug has built a condo in any of the parts that they can access from the outside of the unit. While your there and have the access door open might check the ANODE (a part that is designed to allow hard water to eat it up and is sacrifical), might want to replace it if it showes more than 50% of being ate-up. Some of it bitty parts might have broken off and clogged the out line...

Just a few things to look at and ask about.

Would be nice if ya let us know what ya find.....
