Jim,
A six gallon water heater will provide all the hot water you
will need. New A/Ss come equipped with 6 gallon heaters. My '93
34' Excella has a 6 gallon LP water heater plus the electric rod.
When overnighting in RV parks, I rarely use the LP feature unless I want to
shower very soon after hooking up in a park. The gas burner seems to heat
the tank more quickly.
I learned to take "Navy showers" years ago when water was in
very short supply on a diesel submarine. That method works well in an
A/S. If I wet down, turn off the water flow, shampoo and lather, then
rinse off, I never use anywhere near the six gallon capacity.
