Don't need LPG and certainly don't need the high cost of another RV heater.Don't want 240vac not available.Looking to source the heater for winter. It will be controlled by timer for twice a day use for shower only.Due to brackish water heaters last 2 years here then plug upThanks for hints and suggestions!

might as well get a 30gal tank ,longer shower would be great. build a box for it lot of foam insulation it,ll stay hot long time.

120 VAC units that size are usually called "Point of use" models. Frequently used in service station restrooms and the like. Soace may be a problem as the size and shape are not as compact as the RV units. AmazonAs an example. You may find better pricing through a big box store.Not sure how well I would trust it, but saw this on Helmart site.

Home Depot sells 7 to 12 gallon 120 volt units that you just plug in. I have set up a few permanent units for people using two x 7 gallon units in series. If you have a second 15 amp circuit available you will double your recovery rate as well.

I bought mine at Lowes. It is mounted in the crawl space which is a long run from the 30 gal.

Mex, If scaling up is a big issue, buy a 240V ~4K heater and run it on 120. That will be about a 1kW heater and with the lower heat density, it will take a lot longer to scale up. Matt
