Agreed. I like options. Maybe I can fire up both and invite some of those tent campers over to take a shower so they don't feel cheated.

Tankless water heaters

Does anyone have experience with a tankless (on-demand) water heater in their RV? If so, what are your thoughts? Do you know if this is a substitution ETI will do?
