Electric element and propane ignition are on separate switches. If you have a Suburban WH the switch may be outside in the WH compartment. A black on/off toggle switch. If you have electric hookups at the campground save your propane and heat with electric. You can run both for quicker recovery. If I know I'm going camping again within a few weeks, I leave the water in my tank when we're done. I always turn my electric switch for the WH off before I unhook the water when I break camp.
#2. I leave my propane on when we camp. If the 2002 models do not have a CO or propane detector I would install one. The only thing I turn off if we leave camp to go sightseeing is the water. And that's just an AR precaution.
