The M for motor assist will use coolant from the engine to heat the hot water while driving down the road. If you do not mind cutting in to the heater lines then it is a good option. In my motor home it would be too much of a hassle.
Our MH has the HW tank assist as well as a Rear Heater in the Bathroom and both are great when it is cooler out. Rear heater is a small core with a 3 speed fan (controls are on the dash). Outside of more fluid to refill when something decides to leak it has been zero trouble. Heater Assist and rear heater lines are run under the MH and covered by about 3" of spay foam so are not exposed until it gets to the engine bay. Have not had any leaks going back. I have had a top rad hose go and another time a heater hose split on top of the engine, made a pretty big mess and takes around 10 gallons of antifreeze mix to refill it all. Lost most when the top rad hose blew but lost only a couple gallons when the heater line split. Since then all rubber has been replaced around the engine.
