Well, if the electric heater element burned out, that's easy enough to figure out. Just see if it will heat water with the gas switched off. And if it's burned out, that might not be your wife's fault; if the heater was full of water it shouldn't matter if the supply was hooked up. But if the heater was empty, it's guaranteed to be blown.
Changing out the element on an RV heater shouldn't be any different than any other water heater; you have to get access to the element, unscrew it and screw a new one in. I think most RV water heaters have only a single element.
To get the smell out, you need to sanitize your water system. Drain the heater and water tank, then pump in some Clorox or pool chlorinator using one of those pumps for RV antifreeze. Fill the system with water, and run water through all the fixtures until you smell bleach. It would be a good idea to tow the trailer around the neighborhood a bit to slosh the bleach solution around in the water tank and heater. Drain everything out and flush with fresh water.

The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
