I didn't expect to keep getting replies on this!
I say that it isn't a problem because 90% of the time we will have hookups. There are a few times we won't but during those times my wife won't wash her hair. I'm not talking about 45min showers, just more than the 6min you get with the existing 6gal system.
Well, you keep getting comments because of what you wrote in your second post.........

I believe it is only propane, not electric and propane. I was planning on replacing with a tankless propane system as we won't always have hookups. Water conservation isn't a concern.
You implied that you would rarely have hookups.
My very limited experience is that many campgrounds have power, and water, but few public owned (Nat Parks, State Parks, etc) have sewer. You will be staying it private parks and "resorts" to get sewer, and paying the price.
Too late now, few read the entire thread before they make their post, so you are going to get more comments.
I agree however, you need to learn and practice the "navy shower" method for those occasions where you decide to stay in a state park or a national park and enjoy the beauty, scenery and nature, and don't have hook ups. Many parks in the west only have power.
I have the standard RV type shower head with the shut off valve, it leaves the head dribbling so the water temp stays OK and you don't forget it is still turned on.
Being constantly pressurized with park water is another whole discussion, as many have issues with having pressure on all the time (I do) knowing the design and quality of the plumbing fittings, fixtures, etc in a RV. Quality of park water is another discussion also.
You don't give any info on your MH but I find it hard to believe that any MH built in the past 15 years doesn't have 120v in addition to the propane for the water heater.
