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 read many posts by people who, for want of a better term are "Propane-phobic"
I grew up with propane heated hot water in the house, that water heater ran 24x7 for many years with out significant attention.. Eventually it wore out and a new one was put in.
We also cooked with Gas.. Only had a problem once.. Parents got a new stove to replace the one we first had, This one was an advanced model, the oven was controlled by an electric thermostat and solenoid.
A near miss lightening strike exceeded the insulation on the solenoid and my sister came running into the living room "THERE IS A FIRE IN THE STOVE".. (Think about this, There is SUPPOSED to be a fire in the stove) Well, I gathered that it was not a normal fire. Grabbed a box of baking soda and on the second try hit the flaming solenoid square.. Fire out.
