    Hot water heater on or off

    Once you get to your destination and have 30 or 50amp power do you leave your hot water heater on for your entire stay or just turn it one when you need it, then turn it off when you are done using it?

    Does Electric Water Heater run on Generator?

    My new 5th wheel has a Suburban SW10DE water heater that will run on 120V, and a built-in Onan 5500 generator. Does the generator supply power to the water heater, or is the WH only 'electric' with shore power? Thanks!
