Hi T/B.,

'This is a 240V/11KW/60Hz whole home water heater that is easy to install as it simply wires {requires 6 gauge AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire} into a 240V breaker (min required one 50 Amp breaker'

I repeat, you would need a second power source.

Hi,

Would need a 50 amp service for the water heater and a 2nd power pedestal to run the RV.
no, but you will be required to re-wire the 30 amp coach to a 50 amp coach.
