Electric hot water on fifth wheel .
Wintering on Vancouver Island B.C. Hydro is expensive here . Would I save any money ove a month , by turning my electric 12 gal hot water off in the evening and back on in the morning ? Or would...

Depends on how many times it cycles during the evening.
Water is heated to 130*F. Heating will turn back on when temp reaches 100*F
Electric heating is roughly 6.2 gallons per hour but that is based on cold water replacing the hot water not just reheating of water 30*F
Savings over a month would only be a small amount.
One that shouldn't make a budget difference.
How much is electric .......kw/h cost?
We pay $0.15 per kw/h here in AZ
