The only true fool proof method would be to remove the water heater and put it in storage. Or, remove the switch panel and disconnect the wires from the back of the switch.
I'm sorry, but if I was that concerned I would have to tell the relatives or whoever there are 5 hotels within 3 miles of the house, dinner is served at 3:00. If I have that little trust in someone they are not welcome in my coach.

I don't think the question was about trust, but if it could be done simply? The manual made big broadcast about NOT turning on the heater when drained. I thought it would be simple but apparently NOT.
I did find breaker inside the coach. It is 15 amp breaker but controls the Water Heater and Converter. My plan was to NOT shut down any other aspect of the coach. If I wanted to do that; I could just turn off the house disconnect switch.
I will stick with my Post It Note solution. No one is going inside unless I unlock the door anyway. The note reminder may actually be more so for me than others. My boat has tags that say winterize that I use so it is easy for me to remember. i.e. it is my first RV and I have only had 10 days but I figure I will fill that heater and drain it again 5 times between now and March. This is not a major deal, but I simply plan to have heater drain during winter until I need it. drain the waterlines when/ if temperature hits 32, pump out the water tank if forecast is going to be 27 or below overnight.
