Sounds like it is a 220-240 Volt hot water heater. The black and red are connected to the 220 volts supply and the white is connected to Neutral. At the breaker panel red and black connect to the 2-pole 220 volt breaker and white goes to the neutral bus bar.

In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.

Why are wires supplying electric current to the water heater thicker than those supplying current to the lights?
the water heater operates at high power compared to the lights and so the water heater requires a larger current. The wires supplying current to the water heater are thicker so that the wires have a low resistance. This reduces the risk of the wires overheating.

Installing a atwood 6 gal waterheater in a RV where does the white wire go only have black green and red unit has all three plus white?
From your description it seems the white wire is a neutral and may be required for the controls. Typically the black and red wires provide 240v power to the heater. I've never seen a water heater with a 4th wire but ranges very often have a neutral because accessories such as lights and the timer run only on 120v. It may also be that you can connect the water heater to more than one voltage. I wouldn't know without looking at it or the paperwork. You need a competent electrician to look at it for you.
