From someone who actually has a tankless water heater, don’t give much credibility to those that run them down while never having one.
We have been running ours now for over 5 years and it works very good. Over the long haul we have found that it actually uses less propane than a tank style. Yes, they don’t have a electric option. When in low flow areas, just turn on your pump and all is fine. When dry camping, we use a pan to catch the cold water while waiting for hot and use it for toilet flushing. That cold water is typically less that a half gallon. Don’t forget, tank style heaters have cold water in the lines also.
Don’t run something down when you have never tried one. That is just fear mongering.
