6 gal electric hot water heater upgrade
Have a 18 ft Jayco and hot water heater went out. Wanting to see if anyone has ever replaced the original with a smaller electric one. Don’t really like the use of propane for anything inside.

I put a Rheem 10 gal. water heater in a cargo trailer conversion. Pretty sure it was on a 20A breaker and it never flipped. Plenty of hot water for the 2 of us. But we came from a 30’ sailboat, so we were used to taking a “small” shower.
I turned it on right after setting up so no real worry with waiting.
However, a 120V water heater is not cheap.
I would look into the electric/propane unit first if I was to do it again.
