I've heard such mixed reviews on these. Some love them and some demand the dealer remove them.

I have a tankless at home love it. But no way would I pay that kind of price for one in the TT. Paid less than half that for the one at home. Just saying, John

Hi,

Tankless water heaters work great if and only IF the ground water temperature is a reasonable amount. THey only heat 2 GPM so much, and if you live where it is 45F groundwater, then the water has to come out at a trickle to come out hot! Well maybe 1 GPM. I guess the way around that is to fill the fresh water tank with warm water, then use that to go into the tankless heater.

"...,took a 20 minute shower, temp of water never changed..."

A 20 minute shower??
I never spend that long in a shower at home, much less in the RV!
What a waste, IMO, of both water and energy!
At 2 GPM that is 40 gallons of POTABLE water down the drain, basically for NOTHING!
I sure hope it didn't come out of the aquifer MY well is tapping!
