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 leave mine on full time. If your not using the hot water it does not need to cycle on to heat it. Sure, there is a little loss do to the fact that RV water heaters are not insulated very well. But, it's minimal. In fact with my old style pilot light type water heater the pilot keeps the water warm when it's not in use. It never cycles on unless I use the water.
