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.

He he I'd have to go one beyond that! 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! (Yes there is a way to adjust that!!)

Curious on the 'adjust'.

Have an Atwood with optional adjustable t-stat?
Water heater t-stats are pre-set snap disc contact t-stats (Suburban & Atwood) except Atwood has an optional adjustable t-stat that replaces Normal temp t-stat (110*F to 150*F vs standard 140*F)

AN adjustable residential t-stat can be used if Suburban and a gas only water heater....but you state 'electric' and all available options.

Suburban use to offer an optional 120*F t-stat but don't find those anymore.

So curious about 'adjustable' :H
