thoughts on Camco 11673 Hot Water Hybrid Heat Kit ?
Has anyone installed one of these? What are your thoughts? I don't camp off grid and it looks like a nice option for non propane use. Thanks

We have an Atwood water heater, This type of add on heating element is not recommended. Sure it is out of warranty and may not hurt it. I would be careful about installing one and then again during winterizing be sure it is removed to drain unit.
Camco water Hybrid Heat
Do you know why it's not recommended for the Atwood? Luckily here in FL we dont have to Winterize.
I suspect it's because Atwood WH's use an aluminum tank, where Suburban WH's use a steel tank. The metal used in the Camco heating element may cause electrolysis with the aluminum tank.
