If this picture shows it should be of a cover that I assume is a winter cover that I should remove when heating water using gas, if on mains the cover can stay on I think.

Wrong
Fridge - covers OFF above 5 deg when fridge in use on gas. Also leave on during storage to keep flies out.
Water heater - cover OFF ALL the time when in use on gas. As above re flies and insects.

The vent is to put the gas combustion fumes outside the caravan, not to dissipate heat. Therefore not used for electric only.

Your reply was indeterminate and unfortunately I can't read your mind on a forum.
