They are always both on and I have hot water so I guess they would just automatically switch to whatever source of energy is available? Should I be shutting off these switches when not using camper?
Sorry, I'm a newbie (as you can tell).
Thanks for your help.

I generally keep both off until I get setup at the campsite and then use the gas to get hot water fast. After it is hot I turn off the gas and use the electric to keep it hot. Normally I don't turn the gas switch back on unless the DW is taking a shower. Turning the gas on will help with the recovery rate so she has hot water longer.
I always turn both off before leaving the campsite because it is so easy to forget later and hook up to electric with no water in the tank, burning out the heating element.
