Has anyone tried recirculating hot water into their freshwater tank as an alternative to using a tank heater? How did it work? Issues? Comments from those who haven't done this are also welcome. ...

Jim,
That is exactly the same loop I have (except the galley sink is located in the center of the trailer almost right on top of the tank and the head and water heater are in the back of the trailer), with the freshwater tank vent tube (which I was thinking of using as a return to the tank) run through the same cabinet as the galley sink. For my rig, it should take a valve, controller (switch, timer and/or thermostat) and about two feet of additional plumbing.
