I agree that a domestic water heater would do a very poor job in a hydronic system- a BTU is a BTU, and RV water heaters are less efficient than RV furnaces, so with an input of 10k btu/hr you would get the equivalent of a single electric heater. In addition, the water is not hot enough for a heat exchanger (it would be fine for heating a slab though :)).
The Truma/HydroHot/Precision Temp type heat an antifreeze solution to the upper hundreds, then run a coil through that solution for domestic hot water, which results in near limitless water.
