As for a 2017 yr model I cannot say. I installed a Dometic in my 5th wheel early 2016. Whether on FHU or using pump in RV I have plenty of hot water. Heats nearly immediately. Do not have to wait for 10 gallons of water to heat up to consider getting a shower. DW can follow immediately behind me.
Water and propane use is slightly lower. Follow instructions in manual. Turn on hot water first, then temper with cold water valve to taste.
Thermostat is adjustable at heater to adjust for water temp if on FHU with good cold ground water.
I would have never done this if my OEM Hot Water Heater had not died. When searching for a replacement found this model on sale at PPL for less money than a new version of the heater it replaced.
This has been my experience.
