Ditto on making sure your bypass valves aren't set for bypassing the water heater. As mentioned, you will still get water out of your hot water faucet when tank is bypassed, but no water is in the water tank.
We don't empty our water tank at all while camping or traveling. We have both an electric heat rocker switch and a propane rocker switch, and use both while taking showers. I used to leave the electric element on all the time when connected to 120 volt power until my heating element malfunctioned. Now I turn off the element until I need hot water (first thing in morning, while doing dishes or taking a shower).
