In may 2001 us and several other friends went on our first camping trip for the year. The guy beside me had just gotten hooked up and he couldn't get hot water to the faucets so I asked him if he still had the wh bypassed and sure enough it was. So he switch the valves around and filled the wh and when he went to turn on the elec sw it was already on. So we were talking about if that 15 minutes or so with no water hurt the element and how long could they run dry. Then he said, well I have the record on that cuz his rv was plugged in all winter to keep the batteries charged and the elec element was on the whole time - October - May. It still worked and I know it is still working cuz I bought that 5er from him four years later and I still have it. Craig
