Hot Water Heater
Have a friend with a motor home who said one should not turn the hot water heater on until you are ready to use hot water and then turn it off afterward. Never heard of such a thing. They are new...

I just wish I could turn my HOUSE water heater off & on so easily as in flipping a switch!
The simple method is to install a timer on the supply side of the water heater.
Two 12 gsl heaters in my house. One for the kitchen. One for the bathrooms. Both set to be on from about 5PM to 11PM daily. Water remains hot for a long time, house or RV. 12 hours after shutting off the water is plenty hot & more than enough for a couple of showers. There is no need to have the thing on 24/7 especially if you live someplace where power is very expensive.
Boondocking 15 min to 30 min before requireing for showers is more than hot enough & plentyful enough for 2. Turn it off before the second person goes in.
