Hot Water Replacement

Since Grand Design started putting OD water heaters in some of their units (the Solitudes and Momentum fifth wheels still have 12-gallon standard WHs), there have been many, many posts about problems with them over on the (older) GD forum. There are the problems that dougrainer mentioned plus: 1) without the option to use electric, they go through propane rapidly, and 2) the Furrion units are not insulated and are notorious for freezing and cracking the coils when the outside temps drop or the units are not properly winterized. I would never install one.

I have been an RV tech for 43 years. I would NEVER have a LP powered On Demand Water heater. The On Demands are too finicky and rarely give the higher temps that a lot of people want and like. I have over the years replaced On Demand Water Heaters under warranty with regular water heaters because the customer demanded it and the OEM's agreed to pay for replacement. I have also replaced for Customer pay when out of warranty. Doug

On demand maybe if you're always plugged in to shore power. Otherwise, doesn't seem like the best choice for a mobile RV.
