Best tankless water heaters (LP) 2.5gph or higher
Getting to the point I need to decide how Im going to heat my water in the toy hauler. I was pretty set on tankless but if they are just a huge hassle I can use conventional. What is your opinion?

Don't forget, as soon as you plumb in propane, 120 volt electric, potable water and or wastewater plumbing you may have problems finding camping spots unless the unit is certified to meet the appropriate standards, I.E. NFPA 1192 / ANSI 119.2.
If you only ever boondock on private land it will likely never be an issue, but elsewhere it's a legal requirement.
You may also have insurance issues without it.
Seriously? I can’t recall that ever being an issue when registering at a park or getting insurance. Any chance you can provide some evidence of those statements?

If you open the drivers door of your car you’ll see a plate that certifies that it meets the requirements of the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) as required by law.
Has anyone ever asked you about it? No, I doubt anyone has, or ever will. It’s just taken for granted that your [insert make here] is compliant.
Ditto your RV, because it’s required by law for all it’s just taken for granted that your [insert make here] is compliant also. So no, nobody is likely to ask about it.
But since you asked, as for campground rules, not seeing them, or they being enforced by unknowing (or uncaring) employees, does not mean they do not exist. Below is just one example of the many I’ve seen, at a park I frequent myself. A friend who did a converted cargo trailer, finally sold it because he was being refused a site so often.
Click here and see Rule # 24.4 in the middle of page 11.
As for State laws, in Texas for example, under the Transportation Code it’s illegal to even tow a trailer on a public road if it has a built in propane system unless it meets NFPA 1192 standards and bears proof of same.
In California the Health and Safety Code - HSC Div 13, PART 2 , CHAPTER 4, Section 18027.3.
"h) It is unlawful for any person to do either of the following:
(2) Alter or convert, or cause to be altered or converted, any recreational vehicle in a manner that is inconsistent with ANSI Standard No. A119.2 or A119.5 or the NFPA 1192 Standard on Recreational Vehicles when the recreational vehicle is used, occupied, sold, or offered for sale within this state."
I just don’t understand why it’s so difficult to understand that there are life safety laws.
