electric / propane water heater question

Do you have an energy management system that shows the amount of amps being drawn when operating on 30 amp. or generator. Usually does not show when on 50 amp.
When I flip my elect. water heater switch I see a rise of 12-13 amps. showing it operating, plus I get hot water pretty quick. I cant see a great deal of difference between elect. or propane

I have 2 switches in the control cabinet at the front of he MH. One for propane & the other for electric. There is no way to tell the electric is on ( no red light or else). There is a red light that would indicate a misfire on the propane but otherwise it's not lit.

Yes I do have a EMS. That's part of why I question the electric not being on. I was connected to 50 amp and it showed the water heater as "on" but there was no amp usage. I even tried it running the Generator and it showed the same 0 amps.

I'm going to have to pay more attention on my next trip. I will keep the propane off and see ow it goes.

Thanks for the replies!
