Your voice speaks loud with me Chris Bryant. OK for an ordinal...?
Wrap tank around and top with Reynolds aluminum foil, then attach a thermal blanket that fits a 16 gallon heater? This means insulating the top except where the burner hat is. There is a Home Despot right next to Wal-Mart where I get my Rx's filled in gringolandia. Or is it better to shop online for a better quality or value blanket kit?
The problem with such a small reserve is the Delta T of around (?) 100F with incoming water. The heater has to be set on max temp or I do a navy shower like I do in the rig. But in the rig the Delta T is like 30F
I rigged up a recirculating hot water system in the bus. But now I have one functioning hand...
Is there a hose shower head that is easily manageable with one hand? I know this is wandering from the original subject line but the circumstances are reversed. The bus tank has limited water but an 83 gallon motorfuel tank. Here it is unlimited water but a 100 lb tnk.
The gas truck comes a couple of days after I call them to exchange tanks. They light off the water heater. But they show up anytime inside working hours in those couple of days. Means staying home while maintaining a vigilant eye on an unlocked patio gate to meet up with them. This is a real PITA and want to minimize it. A 0645 wakeup is too early for me.
Two houses share 30 amp TOTAL 120vac service drop so en electric heater is out of the question.
Insulation blanket
Flexible shower head hose
Lousy internet connection
