Our water heater can run on LPG or 110V, but we normally don't turn on the water heater unless we are parked for the night and need hot water for showers.

The problem is that you do not want the refrigerator burner igniting while you are pumping fuel into the coach. During the correct conditions the spark from the refrigerator igniter could start a fire due to the gas vapors in the air around gas pumps while you and others are fueling. This same thing holds true for the hot water heater. If you have it on while travelling turn it off before fueling. With my Class C, I did not begin fueling the coach until my wife informed me that the refrigerator was turned off. I never travelled with the hot water heater on.
