Wasting water waiting for hot water???
While waiting for hot water to reach the faucet, I seem to waste a lot of precious water when I'm boondocking. Has anyone installed an undersink, propane, on demand hot water heater? Or some other ...

Nicely done! This is in your Roo? What are the real life results? How long do you wait for hot water and did you see an increase in life of your fresh water reserves? Thanks
Yes, this is in our Roo. It works very well for us. The wait for hot water is probably about 3 seconds, 5 max. I had calculated (based on 1/2" line and distance from the water heater to bathroom) that about a quart of water sits waiting in the hot water line from the bathroom (rear of camper), to the water heater (very front of camper). If I recall correctly, the pump draws about 1 amp while in operation, runs about once every 20 minutes for about 30 seconds until the thermostat is satisfied. The system is tied into water heater circuit and main cabin lights. Both the water heater & lights must be switched on in order for the system to operate, this way it doesn't operate when it's not needed.
