We bought our first RV in 1970 and it was equipped with a tankless water heater, one with a pilot light. It worked fine and provided plenty of hot water. After years of tent camping, we decided to purchase a new RV and were suprised to see that virtually all current makes and models were equipped with a tank WH. I'm glad to see the tankless versions are available as a replacement, but why did they go out of style in the first place?

In response to:
"As a matter of fact, as I type, another product supplier has jumped on the tankless water heater bandwagon, albeit far behind the efforts of Precision Temp."

I'd be interested in knowing who this other manufacturer is and how their product compares.

We have an RV 500 by Precision Temp. Water is hot in bathroom sink and kitchen sink but only luke warm in the shower and the bathtub faucet. From the faucet it runs luke warm and has cold spots. Any ideas on how to correct this. Precisions temps suggestions haven't helped. Seems to me they should know how to make it work before they advertise endless hot water. Could really use some help here. Thanks Elaine.

We have a Wabasto heater in conjunction with the water heater, if we replaced the water heater with a tankless how would that affect the whole plumbing that runs through the water tank, engine, and wabasto now?

We had a similar although larger one in our stable for washing horses. It's great and, although I know Class A's have had these for some time, I'm hoping this one is suitable for fivers and travel trailers.

Allison, you will no longer have 6 or 10 gallons of water in a hw tank because you no longer have a hot water tank. Since we do not carry any water in our fresh water tank, the weight savings will only be that which is in our hot water tank which will be removed but an unlimited hot water supply is the most appealing aspect of this setup.

I have to debate the logic of your "weight savings" with the tankless heater.
The weight of the 6 or 10 gallons of water you believe you save will either be in the current HW tank, or in the fresh-water tank- its not going to magically appear from outside the coach unless you are hooked up to city water. In which case, rolling weight is not much of a concern.
