If I need hot water quickly after setting up, I will start up the tank on propane, and then switch to AC power once it is hot.  Most of the time, though, in campgrounds, it remains on AC.


When at a campsite with hookups the WH can run both electric and gas at the same time. This effectively doubles the recovery rate, heating the water much faster.

And the AC mode will maintain the temperature so you aren't using propane until you start your shower.
