I've never emptied the HW tank after each trip and have never had any issues with the heating element. I know some people do empty it but I would be concerned that, if I do empty it, and forget to turn the electricity off at the tank and then plug in the unit to shore power, then I will fry my heating element. Done it once. Trying not to do it again.
I've never heard comments about "preserving the electrical element" as a reason. Perhaps people are concerned about heavy concentrations of minerals in the water sitting in the tank for long periods reacting with the element????
