Do you leave your hot water heater on when camping or on and off as needed?

I turn on as needed, usually just in the evening to wash the day's dishes and to shower. Then it will remain off until the next evening.

There is the lengthy on/off debate... I lived in my trailer during weekdays for 26mo. My water heater is located under the master bed, so I didn't want it to wake me. I noticed it would cycle much more frequently during the colder months of left on, so it was more cost effective to turn on before use.

Locate make and model number, normally on the exterior access to it.

Thank you...

How would I know if my heater is electric and gas or just gas?
