time2retire, you should generally create a new topic, so people can find the new questions. That’s just the way forums work.
Any way, you don’t need 30A to keep your batteries topped off. You can just plug in for a day or so every month or so. I keep my power shutoff because there is parasitic drain from propane detector. It takes a while, but eventually will run your battery down.
You have to check your plug to see if their is current to charge going down the road. Some trucks do it automatically while some need a relay//fuse added.
There are methods to add a thermostat to your water heater, but it should automatically cut off. 180 seems awfully hot. I heat water on the stove if needed for coffee etc. It’s fast.
People debate whether appliances should be on/off when traveling. I leave my refrigerator on when traveling. Others say it isn’t safe.
You can search the archives to find answers to your questions, but if not, please start a new topic when you have more questions. It makes it easier for others to realize it’s “new”.
