ok. lets address one thing at a time.

The stove... the burners are turned on and use a match to light. if there is air in the line you may need to bleed it until you have propane. The pilot is for the oven. Mine is a newer model but I'm assuming the same for you. my pilot is in the oven. open the door and under the rack towards the bottom is where you see sort of a burner. At the far back of the oven is an opening where propane comes out. You have to push the knob in, turn the hande to light and use a long match or long lighter to light it. It takes a minute or two.

The fridge- yes there is auto, gas and possibly electric. mine has auto or gas option but same concept. The gas button. it operates on only gas, same for electric. Auto is what I leave mine on. it will automatically switch between gas and electric. meaning if plugged into electric it will run on electric, if not plugged in then it runs on battery and propane. since you ave all 3 options you can test to see what works.

The water heater- To find the location go walk around the outside and look for a large vent looking panel. (there will be one for water heater and one for fridge). Open it up, the water heater will have an overflow check valve and a drain plug. Screw the drain plug in (with age of yours you will want to check anode as well). I suggest wrapping drain plug threads with plumbers tape to help with the seal. now go back inside and look about where you saw the vent outside. You are looking for a wooden panel screwed closed probably close to the floor. Open that up and check to see if heater is on bypass (this is done during winterization). if on bypass turn handles so water can fill tank. Now if not certain whether tank is filling you can go back to overflow valve and flip it to drain some water. this tells you if water is in tank. Now you need to find the hot water heater switch inside. Not sure if you have gas, or gas/electric. I only use gas on mine for rapid heat. I use electric rest of time. I keep it turned off going down the road. never turn water heater on if no water in tank.


Also, not sure if you have done this yet but I would sanitize your water system.... we can teach you that too if needed. As Lloyd said, manuals are pretty sparse and that is even on my 2011. I get more info from websites than I do manuals. The manuals are more specific to the item. ie dometic makes their own manuals. look at fridge, AC, stove and radio brands and go ask them for manuals. Good luck.
