Hi Gary, Yes the only hot water switch if you want to run the heater on electric is on the outside. You are correct that the inside switch is when heating hot water with gas. We usually use the gas if we are just overnighting. If on an extended stay we heat the hot water initially with the gas (it seems to heat and also recover faster with gas) and then switch to electric. Some owners here have used their circuit breaker switch to control the hot water by leaving the outside switch on and turning on/off at breaker. However, we do not fool with the breakers in our unit as you also have to remove an access panel even though inside. One key thing to remember is never turn on the hot water heater (either gas or electric) unless your hot water tank is filled with water. Congrats on your new Montana. May you enjoy many happy miles.
