Tankless Water Heater Compatibility?

Tankless electric water heaters are so expensive, and I was wondering if anyone knew if this model would work in our 2007 Terry Travel Trailer Camper? I would like to use it for our shower.

And if it does fit, how would we convert it to be used in our camper?
  • Try looking online at RV tankless water heaters I have been wanting one of the Gerard ones they have good ratings and are less than $500.

  • Keep in mind venting requirements for propane units. They can be dangerous if not installed properly.
  • Can you build a lean-to? Put it right outside where the factory WH is, and install the heater you plan to put in your house...
