Previous owner was an absolute goof so I doubt he serviced anything on there properly. I'm hoping the roof is okay because a buddy and I were walking around up there looking for leaks and soft spots and couldn't find any. You are absolutely correct in these projects being money pits. Can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig haha. Can I put any model of hot water heater in there or does it have to be specific to my trailer?
I found the cheaper units you were talking about on Amazon about 300 bucks US.
It's 650 without install from my local RV dealership so if it's cheaper then that to order online from the state's then I'll go down that route. When I first searched for these the price ranged from 8 to 12 so it's nice to see that's not what I'm stuck with.

Here to tell you RV Mobile Repair is the way to go.
First of all they will beat the prices you have listed.
AND/OR they will locate the leak and be able to repair it.
They see these day in and day out and will most likely know where the problem is with just one look. And their rates/parts prices are WAY WAY WAY lower than an RV dealership. Stay away from those goons!
Good Luck. Don't be discouraged. Fixing up an older RV will give you years of wonderful RV'ing memories with your family. :C
There might be some confusion here. We are comparing prices between two different countries with two different currencies but both are called dollars so it muddies the water a bit. It would be easier if one currency had a different name like pounds or euros etc. Anyway, the OP is comparing a landed price in one currency to a pre-shipped price in another. There may still be some savings but may not be as good as it looks. Shipping and brokerage is expensive.
Good luck on the fix job. Hope you build lots of great memories in the trailer.
