[VAC] Hot Water Heaters

[rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx (Lashway)]

Last week someone was asking about instant hot water heaters.  I finally
found this in the files.  This unit is also now available in the newer 34'
airstreams (may be an option).

THE LATEST: Another "flash" water heating system has recently been
introduced: The
"Precision Temp" Model RV-500 is cleverly designed to fit the hole where a
standard RV
water heater usually resides. Nice. Ultra-efficient. Super-good
construction. Avoids the clumsy
business with all the other flash heaters where you have to find a place to
hang 'em on the wall
and add water and gas lines. Possibly the best one being sold (though I
can't prove it yet).
Unfortunately, the thing lists about $975 (Gadzeeks!) but is currently
being sold for $750 (not
bad). Some electric consumption with this one: If you leave it "on" in
"standby" mode it draws
about 25 milliamps (ma)--no big deal. Fully "on," with hot water running,
it only draws about
8/10ths of an amp. Not bad at all! They do have a power cut-off switch
also, which helps. In
Winter, the switch is "overridden" when temperature goes below 40º, then
heater brings water
to about 115º (to prevent freezing) and cuts back off. Good, because the
heater is fully
warranted for two years--except for freeze damage. (90 day full money back
and 2-Year
Warranty.) Much less hot/cold spikes than some other heaters. At Camping
