Water Heater...6 gallon or 10 gallon?

I’m rebuilding an old travel trailer and need a new water heater. Assuming I could make either fit, would you prefer a 10gallon or should I stick with the 6 gallon?

Thanks!

Gas only or Gas and electric? Same power draw if electric? If you can do it, go for the 10 if you can, 6 works for many people, not so well for others.

If it were me and I could fit it, I would go with the 10 Gallon. We are a family of 4 with 2 older teens, so we need as much hot water as possible.

If it were just the 2 of us or I was solo and fitting the 10 gallon would be difficult, then I'd stick with the 6 gallon.
