2016 Grand design Reflection 337RLS

looking at this online at a local dealer had a quick question about the water heater they have listed 6 gal 17.8 Gal/Hr. Quick Recovery Water Heater seems they use them in all there campers anyone ever run out of hot water while taking a shower?? looked through the archives on here didn't really find anything on this type of w/h.. I'm hoping to get a great deal this time of year in north east PA

Not a 6 gal BIG Difference,what the heck I know your GD better than you do????? and it is rare to run out of hot water with back to back showers with a 12 gal but 6 gal like was said before yes you will probably have to take 2 quick showers back to back or wait about 10 min between

    I agree there is a big difference between a 12 and 6 gallon heater.
    A 12 is basically unlimited in my rig. While a 6 may require waiting.
    Not a deal breaker but it is a factor to consider
