Power vent. Doesn't use that much power in stand-by. Maybe when the glow
plug is on for ignition and then the inducer motor is running. But
that's when you're taking a shower or something.
I would think a high-efficiency appliance will offset the operating
cost, making it a wash. 4 hours a day completely off, maybe $2/mo
savings. But then what did you pay for that timer? And when will it fail?

Not trailers, but all water heaters are now electric. Forced air
venting and electronic ignition. I'm guessing without power they
won't heat the water.

Since when does a water heater run off an "outlet", assuming these
are electric water heaters, they should be on a dedicated big-ass
breaker, like 240V at 30A or something.
Are these trailers?

I have a few customers who have just started turning their radios off
every night, like they're on a timer. I talked to one of them, and he
said it's feed off the same outlet as his water heater, and He has a
timer that turns his water heater off every night from like midnight to
4 am. Claim's it's supposed to give him $20 month savings. Was this
just touted on some TV show or something that everyone started doing it?
