Actually I was looking at one yesterday at a local RV dealership thats made for small RV's and draws less than 2.4 kw with a 20 amp breaker.
Could you give the make and model number? I doubt that 2400 watts will supply very much hot water during contionus use. Then too, most will only raise the temp of incoming water 35 to 40 degrees.
If you buy, give us a progress report.
I went back to see it again after reading the posts here and you are right, it says to be effective the incoming water needs to be over 65-70 degrees and it only supplies 1.9 GPH. not nearly enough for a MH. I'm sticking with my gas unit. I had only considdered it because I have an on-demand unit in my home and it does pretty good but after looking at it I see that it draws a lot more current and even has a pre-heater for the water.
