Hello,

Okay let me try to ask this again in a different way because everyone keeps answering me with answers that seem to answer the question " how do I make my hot water last longer?". Though I appreciate all of the answers, it's just not the question I had.
Thanks though

Here are the 2 questions.

1.Can I get a larger tank to hold the hot water?
2.If so, how do I go about this?

(I have a travel trailer.I am hooked up to city water at a permenant site.)


OK you are on a perm site. How permenant? By that I mean do you have to move out in the winter? . If not. Have you thought of an aqua hut? What is an aqua hut? You ask. It is a outside water heater, installed against the side of your house, trailer, or what ever. It has it's own little insulated hut/house. Only sitcks out about 2 feet from the trailer/house. I have one at my house. It is natural gas, and 40 gal. I'm sure you can get a propane one. As you are permenate. You can get a larger propane tank as well, or maybe you could get an electric one. No reason why not. This way. You can have a house sized water heater, Without taking up any TT floor space.
Next question. Do they freeze in winter? Mine never has, and won't as long as it is in use. If your CG closes. Just drain it.
How do you get one? Call the gas company. They will install a gas one. Or could maybe get an electric one from Lowe's, or Home Depot. or like store. Of course. you need to check with your CG to be sure it is OK to do.
Hope this is in line with your question.
