Do you leave your water heater on all the time when set up at the campsite?
When I am setting up I turn on both the electric and the propane. When the propane cycles off I then turn it off. I leave the electric on the entire time we are set up.
When running from the generator I use propane only. I also leave it on the entire time.

I leave mine on electric all the time if were there. One of the first things I do is flip it to electric when I come through the door. I run it on gas and electric when it's shower time. With wifey, myself, plus 2 little ones the hot water recovers quick. I usually am last to go and don't think I've ran out of hot water yet, of course they's probably 10 minutes between all of us taking showers. When were done with showers the gas goes back off. When all the fun is over and were headed home to work next week, I turn the electric hot water off too.

I turn it off when I am on propane. No need to waste the LP and when we turn it on the water heats up very quickly anyway. When on electric I sometimes leave it on but if the A/C is running a lot and we are cooking (microwave) I will tend to shut it down just to minimize the amps being drawn. I've tripped the breaker on occasion when too many high draw items are on at once.
