My experience has been tank less water heaters have a bit of delay in actually getting hot water to the faucet vs. a standard heater. That delay amount to wasted water which is not a good thing in a RV.
I have a 12 gallon tank and we do not run out of hot water. The 12 gallon capacity always keeps up with our usage.
I'm not sure what the point of a tankless heater is in an RV. In a stick home the ultimate advantage is to save energy cost. However in an RV you are only dealing with a 12 gallon tank there is zero/negligible energy savings vs. a house where there is ample savings.
A tankless heater for an RV is a solution looking for a problem.
In my mind there is no problem with standard heaters,a 12 gallon DSI heater easily keeps up with our usage.
