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?

    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...

    I was thinking something similar.
