We leave our electric water heater switch on most all time when connected to shore power and prior to showers turn gas option on in addition this recovers the 6 gal tank in about 10 minutes between showers also allows me to keep the thermostat such as hot doesn't cause 3rd degree burns if turned on first!

I have learned that not much about RVing is about saving money.
Heck, We paid a ton for these rigs and a ton more for something to pull them. If we wanted to rough it and save money I'd go back to tent camping and not have to think about a water heater.
We relax. We leave ours on all the time when we are camping and don't even think about the extra pennies.
