6 gal electric hot water heater upgrade
Have a 18 ft Jayco and hot water heater went out. Wanting to see if anyone has ever replaced the original with a smaller electric one. Don’t really like the use of propane for anything inside.

You could always swap out the element for a lower wattage one.
Long time between showers ! Of course if the shower is big enough, you could always "shower with a friend" !Lynnmor wrote:
If you do downgrade to a residential water heater, remember to have double the height available so you can pull the anode rod out the top. Yes, it has one.
You must be a plumber ! Never heard of ANYONE changing an anode, not that it is bad idea.
I just thought it would be better to have an element that could be powered as opposed to one that trips the breaker and provides no heat.
It is true that very few have a clue. The major big home improvement stores quit stocking anodes because folks are irresponsible and destroy much of what they own.
