Feedback on current on-demand hot water heaters

Spec'ing out a 2018 Jayco 5er. We do a lot of seasonal camping. I like a nice long, non-navy-style shower.

How's performance on these on-demand hot water rv units these days?

    On paper, the newest unit by Atwood looks very good. It has the highest avavilable BTU rating and is the only one I've seen that has a varaible burner - 16K to 50K BTU. That should answer the biggest problems with them which are minimum flow and the ability to heat even the coldest water.
    If I were going to take a chance on one, it would the Atwood.
