The park manager just came and told us the water will be off tomorrow...more then likely all day due to a leak in one of the lines in the park. I was thinking we should shut down the water heater, and wanted to make sure just flipping the power to that fuse would suffice. I don't need to do anything to the heater itself do I?

That will do it.

i didn't need to shut down anything when my parks well went broke for a couple of days. didn't seem to hurt anything. everything went back to normal after the fix. to each their own

Thanks, I always feel better when I get confirmation from someone here! One day I hope to know more about MH's

Fuse is off, hopefully this is a quick fix.

FYI, the reason you should shut the tank off is because if you open a faucet, the tank can partially drain, exposing a heating element, causing it to burn out.

It's just too easy to shut it off to avoid any problems. You could also shut your main valve also, but you may not know when the water is back on.
