Portable tankless water heaters....
Could I use one of these to fill a mini bathtub on my patio? I would just like to soak every so often. Many of them produce 2 gallons of hot water a minute...the question is how hot. Anyone know?

You can take a Renii or Bosch tankless and make it portable. All they need is gas, water flow and 110v to run
The tankless Bosch in my house doesn't need electricity. I don't believe any of the propane powered units do.
The best setup I ever saw was years ago while at a rustic campground frequented by dirt bikers. Guy had a portable shower stall like you'd see at a hazmat cleanup site, with a residential propane tankless and a gas powered water pump. Throw the supply hose in the lake, fire it up, and take a nice hot shower, with loads of pressure. Waste water went to a blue tote and got dumped into the campground's vault toilet.
Unless there is a pilot light it has electronic ignition and needs power.
Mine has a standing pilot, with a mechanical spark ignitor to use if it happens to go out. But yeah, power is required for units that have automatic ignition.
