Controller board on my dual sources hot water heater went out two years ago. Was looking on line for a new one or a new board.
Found at PPL an Atwood Tankless propane. On sale, it was a little less than a new hotwater heater. Time being of the essence I ordered it, installed it, and then read the instructions on its proper usage.
It has a thermostat you can adjust for the incoming water supply temp. Florida winter I had it set at half way of the adjustment range. One must turn on the hot water first, then temper by adding cold water to have the desired temp.
Propane usage is lower than with the old heater due to the propane demand is only when hot water is needed. I do not take Navy showers now because I am not in the service any longer. LOL
Probably not the best thing to have when boondocking I would think. Works well for what it is.
