[VAC] Re: Water heater replacement



John, I looked at the Aquastar model 36 but was scared off by the venting
requirements described in the installation instructions. It requires a
minimum of a 4" vent that's a minimum of 6 feet long (if there are no bends)
and that terminates at least 2 feet above any obstruction in any direction.
That sounded to me that it would require a chimney sticking up above the top
of the Airstream at least 2 feet.

The Italian made on demand brand is not recommended for installation in a RV
according to the manufacturer. I liked the Precision Temp brand but the $700
price for my occasional use would be hard for me to justify.

If you get one of the Bosch made units, let us know hoe it works out.
