Hybrid electric/propane tank-less water heater

We are looking for recommendations for a hybrid electric/propane tank-less water heater for our 99 Damon Challenger 310. We are looking for one that will run off of electricity when the bus is parked...

There is no way to do an electric "on demand" heater. A 50 amp RV only has 12,000 watts available. Propane does work.

I have a ten gallon electric/propane and it meets my needs.

On pure electric it takes 90 minutes to first cycle. Then it recycles once every 4 hours for 15 minutes. It draws 1400 watts.

I much prefer to run on electric--and save my propane.
