I leave it......That way, if you make a potty stop on the road, the pump doesn't have to fill the lines....

Not unless it's going to drop below freezing. In that case you should at least blow the water out of your lines with an air compressor, empty your FW tank and your water heater.

So you were awesome to answer my first question, let's try another. My water heater is propoane only. So when I am camping should I leave it in all the time, or just when I need it to safe propane, or does it matter?

The water will stay hot for a few hours so you can turn it off if you wish.

It should only take about 15min to heat the water up so leave it off until you need hot water.
