Hi and thank ya kindly for replying to my questions about the Suburban IW60. I'm glad to receive any information from RVers who have this unit. I will get an extra flow sensor to have on hand. How exactly does the sink miser hook up to system and do you have to have it return in fresh water tank or can you loop it to come back around? Thank ya again kindly ??

Tank maintenance, just because a tankless water heater doesn't have a tank doesn't mean there is no maintenance. Tankless systems are prone to mineral buildup in the water tubes, To combat that there is a maintenance procedure that needs to be followed which flushes the mineral buildup out of the tubes.
Water naturally has minerals suspended in it, some sources the mineral content can be considerable. Municipal water systems tend to have lower mineral concentrations, water well sources without a softening system can have extremely high mineral content.
Something else to consider, you may need to make some propane system upgrades, regulator and hoses to the tanks may be undersized and the propane line to the tank may need to be upsized..
Tankless systems also have some limitations in just how much temperature rise you can get, the colder the input water the lower the temp of the output water.. The faster you draw the lower the rise in temperature and the slower you draw the faster the rise..
I will also note, I do not have to do any "maintenance" on my tank water heater, just fill and go, drain out the water at the end of camping season..

Hi Alabama yes old post I was so hoping that you would still see it and get back to me so I could find out your thoughts if you had purchased one. Thank you kindly for letting me know that you all love it. I won't regret my purchase then I'm sure anything is better than Navy showers especially considering I dealt with the military for 30 years lol. Did you have your ears professionally installed or do it so? I was thinking of doing my myself but not sure if it's above my skill set. Thank ya again I'm glad now after hearing from ya I purchased this suburban IW60 on demand it should be a good investment.

ScottG- can you link the reviews youโve found? I havenโt found any!
To everyone trying to convince me rather than provide useful information:
- itโs less about 30min showers than it is about two things:
1) tank maintenance
2) the fact that we DONT need hot water that often and see no reason to be continually heating it.
Also, if our family of five does come back from a full day of hiking and all WANT to take back to back showers, we can. Most likely some will go to the bathhouse and some will use the camper.
Given that the girard, sub tank, and sub tankless are all comparable, Iโm looking at all three...
FWIW, There are a few people on Facebook that Iโve spoken with who have the sub tankless and have had no complaints about it... but I like to cast a wide net for opinions. ๐

Hi Alabama, I to would like more reviews about bv this on demand water heater as I just purchased one but haven't installed it yet. I'm with ya on no reason to co exist continually heat a tank of water when not being used or have plenty for back to back showers. That's why I purchased it and I did locate a few reviews that were good and this unit is way better price than a Truma which RVers talk about as well but its way more pricey. ๐
