This may seem like a silly question but here goes anyway. I recently purchased a 2016 Heartland Landmark Newport design. I noticed on the first trip out there are 2 switches on the control panel for the water heater. One is for 110 electric and the other for 12v electric. That is simple enough, but my question is......does it automatically switch to Lp when no electric is available? The reason I ask is after disconnecting from shore power and driving 4 hours home I still had hot water. The generator was not in use and neither switch was on for electric. I noticed the hot water when I was draining my fresh water tank and had all faucets running with the pump on. I turned off the Lp and disconnected the batteries and put the trailer in storage. My concern is if I had not noticed the water was still hot and had forgot to turn off the Lp would the water heater still try to heat using propane and if so would there be a fire hazzard if I had drained all the water from my system? Sorry if this question seems silly but I am fairly new to the Rv life. Any comments and helpful knowledge are appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who reply.
