Lance and Lynn,
For a little more information, why was the service guy there? Were you having a problem with the electrical, or with the water heater?
Maybe his advice pertains to the repairs he made.
People have different opinions on whether gas or electric costs more money, and certain area and RV parks charge much more than the norm, so his advice may have a financial slant to it.
When I am at an RV park, I usually use Propane for the water heating, when I need a quick recover on the hot water, I run the gas and electric at the same time. Just my preference.
Any resistance heat appliance will use a lot of energy dollars, and the water heater is no exception, but to heat water it also takes a lot of Propane, really not too much difference in the cost per heat cycle.
If you are on 30 amps, then the water heater will cut into your available power available to the entire trailer.
