Questions from our First "Real" trip.

This doesn't make sense.  If you are plugged up to electricity, you don't need gas (unless you are in a big hurry for hot water, even then it's not that much faster to use 2 sources of heat)  So turn off the inside (gas)switch.  If you are boondocking, you won't use any electricity even if the outside switch is turned on (in that case, your shore power plug serves as a switch.)  The thing is, if you want to use electricity, turn on the outside switch and turn off the inside (gas) switch.  If you want to use gas, turn off the outside switch and turn on the inside switch.
