Thanks to all of you.I wes just worried because the red lighted switch gets pretty darn hot.

The lightbulb in that red switch is operating a bit over its rated 12V DC voltage due to the higher voltage (13.5V +/-) put out by the RV charging system. It tends to run hot and they frequently burn out for folks--this doesn't affect the operation of the water heater, just the light in the switch.

Leave the red light on. That's electric.

When it's only the 2 of us the electric works fine. We only use the LP when you need to have three or more showers in a short time.

There is a thermostat for each of the heating systems, electric and gas. You can leave either or both on all the time as they will cycle as hot water requirements need to be met. We also full time and if we are hooked up to 50 amp our water heater just stays on electric.
