Tankless water heater

[funpilot]

Has Liven Lite thought of using a tankless water heater?  If not, would they be willing to try one in a new order?

I'm sure they'd be open to it. Are you aware of how much they cost though? I couldn't stomach it unless I was full-timing.

[/p][p]Ok, you sent me to do research.   Seems that the only RVIA certified one is Precision Temp RV-550.  I read that here:  [/p][p]

I bet the cost of propane to use the heater would drive thru the roof.

[p]Have continued my research.  Seems many of the posts in other forums indicate that the operational costs do drop.  The PrecisionTemp that I looked at has licensed their technology to Atwood, so they have a similar product for much less.  I have shared this with LL sales.  The Atwood person I talked to said that the water flow issues are pretty much managed by a Shurflo Pre-pressurized accumulator tank, a $45.00 retail item.  So, I think I will try to get LL to do that if I can finally get a LL model that I can afford and meets our needs...[/p][p]
