Expert Reply:
RV water heaters like your GC10A-3E # DMC74FR require both gas and electric to function. There is no way to turn one fuel source off and still have the unit produce hot water. The electric side controls the functions of the water heater while the gas is the fuel source for heating the water.
However, you could go to the tankless side and getting a Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 18" x 18" Door # FR68SR. Or ther Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR. This setup would use only gas.
