rv tankless hot water systems

[boothby1952]

I have seen some ads in the past for tankless water heaters for RV's. Would like to hear the pro's and con's of these systems, and what company(s) market this item.

There are many sources for tankless heaters, here is a couple of web links,

Hope fully some one can comment on actual usage of one of the many different tankless systems that are available.

Well I have heard negatives in another forum but those were all by people whom had never had one. I have heard positive from those that have. Of course I am familiar with the home model since sister in law has had one for many years now and she could not be happier. She says that they can run the washing machine and have both showers going at once and still have hot water to spare. And been there and seen two showers going at once and it was working just fine. And her device is not much bigger than the size of a paper back book. I have heard there are both electric and gas models but I do not know enough to say yea or nay.
