Water Heaters-advice?
So, the 10g Suburban water heater in my camper has, basically, died. When I removed it, the tank has completely rusted so much, I can't even tell where the leak is. It still heats! Tenacious thing ...

I'm confused. First you said it died, then you say it heats good.
O/P was clear to me, it died of Collander Disease (too many holes to counmt, leaking like a kitchen strainer). There are several ways they die, this one is... not common.
To the O/P.
The biggest problem I have with the Tankless is that they eat a lot of BTU's.. Now at low flow rates, (Heating water for tea) a 115 volt 15 amp circuit might do but at 2 GPM you gonna need PROPANE. and most of the places I park,, When I do the math I get "propane $$$$, ELectricity included in site rental $0.00.. So it makes the math real, real, easy,, propane looses.
As to "Fluctuations due to pressure"
A variable speed water pump for your RV (My next one will be and I need to replace) and a pressure regulator (A good one like a Watts o rZurin 1/2 inch or larger) on the park end of the supply hose.. and that' snot such a big problem as you might think.
