Seems people who like the tankless are always at a water hookup.
Tankless is terrible for boondocking / saving water. I am shoppng also, and keep reading that trying to turn the water off often results in either scalding hot, or ice cold water. Tankless needs a constant flow of water to perform. Just running the water wastefully is not what I want to do when conserving water on a long outing.
Am I correct?
My thoughts, as a boondocker, is to run the hot water into a bulb before it gets to the shower. The bulb I mean a small tank, inline with the hot water pipe, maybe a gallon in size where the water can remix with hot and cold incoming tankless water before it is used. This acts as a temperature damper and might level out the temp fluctuation.
Anyone tried?
I hate heating 6 gallons only to take a 1 gallon shower. Is an issue for extended camping when trips to refill propane is not optional.
