Water Heater Suggestions

Electric on-demands are crap, and there are enough reports about the longevity/reliability of gas-fired on-demands that would make me think twice about them.

We've got a 30 gallon electric in our new trailer. With it set to 130, we can do dishes and three showers for my wife and kids (I shower at the bath house because I prefer open-air).

When we get to camp, we switch it on. Water's ready in 15 or so minutes (it's already warmer than incoming water). It's super easy to empty, super easy to install/replace, and, looking at the overall lifespan costs, not much different in overall cost.

Good luck!

Need to consider the cost of service and longevity of the unit. Water conditions may be an issue as well. Need to check the ph of the water.
