After a few weeks and some tinkering we found that the hot water heater was a total loss. Okay, so boil water to do dishes and cold showers in the summer, we can live with that. Actually those cold water showers in the summer feel pretty good and if you are patient and you scrub hard enough, dishes aren't really that bad. The reality of it is that we couldn't afford a new hot water heater and the fabrication of a hot water heater door. New RV hot water heaters do come with a door, but it is white and I feel that it clashes with the aforementioned shiny aluminum exterior.
So we have lived without a working hot water heater all this time and really we don't miss it much. It's summer as I write this and if it's a scorching hot day the groundwater warms up quite nicely by evening time and makes for a pretty good shower.
Don't try it in the winter though...
