2001 Winnebago Brave SE 29A. Does any one replaced the water heater with tank less (on demand) water heater?. My water heater works, but take some time to heat up. I had one on a boat and worked good. Within 2sec I had hot water running.

I've been considering a tankless water heater for my RV as well. I've heard they can be more efficient and provide endless hot water, which would be great for longer showers or washing dishes. I'm curious to know what brand and model you installed on your boat, and if you had any issues with the installation or operation.One thing to consider is that tankless water heaters require a higher flow rate than traditional tank models. This means you may need to upgrade your water pump or add a booster pump to ensure you have enough water pressure. Additionally, tankless water heaters can be more expensive than traditional models, so it's important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.If you're considering a tankless water heater for your RV, I would recommend doing some research to find a model that is compatible with your RV's water system. You should also consult with a qualified RV technician to ensure that the installation is done correctly.Overall, I think tankless water heaters can be a great option for RVers who are looking for an efficient and convenient way to get hot water. However, it's important to do your research and make sure that a tankless water heater is the right choice for your RV.

Hi Tersnnter - Welcome to the forum. This is a three year old thread and the original poster is unlikely to see your question. We typically don't allow replies to threads more than a year old, but there was a software glitch that allowed it. I'm going to close this thread and you can start a new discussion if you'd like.

It doesn’t take that long, does it? At 65 F degrees outside temperature, what amount of time?

This is a hot topic (pun intended) over on the Jayco forums. Seems like Jayco lead the pack with widespread use of tankless water heaters.Two main manufacturers get the most discussion - Girard and Truma. Girard came with many Jayco's starting around 2016.People either love the Girard or hate it. No one's in the middle. The latest Girard (Gen III) is less quirkly than the earlier models but it's still something you have to learn to use.People who love tankless but hate the Girard quirks replace their Girard with a Truma. The Truma's about 3x the cost of a Girard and has to be installed by a licensed Truma dealer.We have a Gen II Girard in our Jayco and really like it.Yeah, it took a while to figure out how to make it work well - but we figured it out. That said, if it ever dies, I'll consider replacing it with a Truma.

The 60K BTU Subruban gets good reviews.
