Default Water Heater question

I'm new to the forums, I just picked up a 2006 Gulfstream Caviler that was a unused Fema Trailer. I've set it up for permanant use on a lot near Summersville WV. I've got the water and sewer hooked up, and they will be installing power to my lot some time in the next week or so.

The questions I have are about the water heater, I would prefer to run the heater by electric only if possible (no propane), how can I tell if my WH is capable of this? and if it is, what do I have to do to run it in electric only mode?

The WH is a Atwood 10 gallon unit, here are a few pics



and just for fun, here are a few pics towing the camper up, and then sitting on my lot.

I may be wrong but normally when electric is an option you would have an ON/OFF switch and have
to put it in the ON position.

Most of the Spec trailers are gas only unless you by a ADA with a slide that is all electric. There are some converson kits gas to electric for less than $100, but not sure how the work? You can buy a new replacement gas/electric unit for around $500, just goggle. I just cut mine off when not using.
