in our house, we have a pair of 40 gallon heaters in series, and a recirculating loop with pump in the system. We have hot water at any faucet in the house within a couple seconds. This saves a bunch in water heating bills.
In the coach, we have a "10 gallon" water heater that runs on both gas and A/C. The 10 gallon rating is a 6 gallon hot tank that blends in some cold water automatically for a 10 gallon rating.
In a campground, I leave the electric on, and switch on the gas when we are all actually showering. Refresh time is pretty short and we can get 3-4 showers plus breakfast dishes done pretty quick. When done I switch the gas off to save propane.
