I guess it would depend on how long "a while" is. I don't think there is any benefit to putting it on pilot unless you're talking about days. When I leave one of my residences I leave them on pilot.....unless I'm going to be gone over 4 - 6 weeks. They are at least 40 gal. but the pilot on your RV water heater is not going to evaporate all the water in a 6 gal. water heater in a couple of hours, or a couple of days.
