Live in Oklahoma. It can get cold. Our first time as snowbirds this year and I've picked up a lot of good info from old hands. But still have ??? about whether or not to turn off propane to water heaters or just turn down to vacation. Of course heat (heat pump/propane furnace backup system) will be on 55-60 degrees.

If you turn off the water, you better turn off the water heater.
Saves a little gas too. Also a good idea to turn off the gas in case you would develop a gas leak in the line or at the appliance.
