Ok to keep the water heater running all the time?

[arodriguez]

Hi, winter newbie here. We are camping in just under freezing weather 25 - 28 and I am wondering if it’s ok to keep the water heater on electric the entire time or all night? My thought is that it will keep the water in the tank from possibly freezing.

Thoughts?

Yes. By all means. We run ours for weeks at a time when we are connected to shore power.

Yes. The water heater is thermostatically controlled just like the one in your house.

Sure and if you get up during the night, like many of do, just run the hot water for a few seconds to get hot water in the lines as a precaution.
