Check the switch located outside within the WH ccoverto make sure it is on in addition to the AC breaker also being on or not tripped. If both are on and still not hearing, use a multimeter to check for voltage going to the thermostat and anode.

SOURCE: takes too long for hot water.

You need a recirculating line. You will have to hire a plumber to run a water line from the farthest fixture or to the fixture you are concerned about on the hot side and return it back to the water heater. this will cause hot water to constantly run throught the hot water line (via the recirculating line) and when you want to draw water from the fixture, you will already have hot water right at the line.
I know this works with standard tank water heaters, but it is a lil trickier with rinnai units(but very possible) if your plumber pleads the 5th and tries to sell you another unit call the Rinnai manufacturerand ask them how.

SOURCE: Rheem 83xr52-2 50 gal residential water heater.

You can open the top up again. I would not turn the temp higher than 130 degrees, maximum. However, there should be above the thermostat a red button. This is where the power wires connect to the thermostats and heating elements. Sometimes this button needs to be reset, press it and discern if you hear a click sound. This means that the high temperature safety switch has tripped open and you had to manually "reset" it. There are two thermostats by the way. The water heater usually works this way. There are two thermostats and two heaters. The upper tank heater turns on first and it heats the top half of the tank. Then when the thermostat above is satisfied it then allows the bottom heater to come on and heat the bottom half of the tank. You might want to set the bottom heater thermostat as well. This is made this way because it is actually faster and more efficient to heat the top half first and the bottom half secondly. Try this first with the reset button. We could check voltages, but that requires a level of knowledge and safety that I am not sure that you are comfortable with. Pictures of the upper and lower thermostats and connections will help if the "reset" does not do the trick. By the way, not meaning or implying anything, but did you move the thermostat in the right direction? Sometimes the dials can be confusing.

SOURCE: I just bought a Jayco

Check your by-pass again. Cold water enters bottom fitting/line, and hot comes out the top fitting/line. Any valve in between should be closed, and any valve going in at bottom should be open, as well as open at top. There are a few different by-pass set-ups, so without knowing which one you have, this should guide you somewhat.
If you can describe what you see there, I can probably guide you through it.

Does a 2018 Jayco Octane 273 have a city water hookup

The water connection is typically on the driver's side outside wall. You most likely have a valve that switches between "Fill" (a ~60 gal. water tank) and "City pressure" that allows the water pump to be turned off. If the water fill isn't visible on the sidewall, check in the wet bay for the connection.

Where is the water pump on a jayco RDB 24ft white hawk

Locate the water heater and access the cargo door near it. Inside the cargo door, most likely behind an access panel, you should see the water pump. The water pump need to be near the hot water heater to get the most pressure.

How to turn on water heater

This might not be much help, without more details, but there should be a valve inside the water heater panel (outside) you can open. Open the valve at the main propane tank also.

Make sure the water tank is FULL before you fire it up. There should be a switch inside the coach somewhere to turn it on.

If it doesn't ignite immediately, you probably have air in the lines. Light the stove and let it burn for a minute, then try the hot water tank again. Might take a few tries to get it fired up.

How do I switch my hot water from propane to electric?

If the water heater is dual fuel (elec/LP) and it is manufactured by Suburban you will need to go outside to the access door of the water heater. Once you have opened the access door to the lower left below and behind the gas valve/burner tube you will see a small black switch labeled on/off. Switch that to on for electric operation. and then you may turn off the LP switch located inside the unit. If it is an Atwood then inside the unit you should have a switch panel with two switches, one for LP and the other for electric. The panel may be by itself or the switches may be located on your tank level monitor panel.

Where can i downoad jayco user manual

Contact the manufacturer of the coach for their owner's manual. However, each appliance will have a separate owner's manual form its perspective manufacturer, i.e., Water Heater = Suburban, A/C = Dometic, Refrigerator = Norcold, etc.. There will not be a diagram of electrical or plumbing as a majority of the RV manufacturers do not publish that information.
