TANK TYPE RV water heaters are known to provide stupid hot water, well over 130 degrees. Get a 10 or 12 gallon Dometic or Suburban water heater, you will be assured of having the hot water you need and they recover rather quickly too.
Continuous or instant water heaters are marginal at best. Everyone in any forum I have seen says they regretted ordering or installing a instant unit and some even switched back to a tank unit. It takes a lot of propane to make a fire big enough to heat water that hot with it flowing thru.
