Tankless heater in seasonal TT
We have a TT in a park near the beach in Delaware. I have the OEM propane hot water heater on board that we use in the off season. Water is off from 10/15 - 4/15 annually. IO have a 275 gallon IBC tan...

Shouldn't have issues with the source of water pressure.
The bigger question is what is the source of power for the water heater?
- We had a propane one on our boat and I hated it because you had to fiddle with it a lot to get the temp right then if you adjusted the flow at all you either got an ice bath or scalded.
- Electric ones need a lot of juice particularly if we are talking about the winter when the incoming water may only be in the mid 30F range. If you only have a 30amp power supply, you likely can't bring the temp up enough to have a reasonably warm shower.
- Now if you have a 50amp/240v supply, you can get a high wattage unit that can do the job (check the rating for temperature increase relative to flow)
