[VAC] Re: Tankless Water Heaters?
You should call Airstream as they at one time offered the tankless heater
as an option. A friend got a new 34ft unit three years ago and he had
specified one. Seen him a month or so ago and asked him how it was
working and he said fine after an initial problem wherein the temp probe
in the tank somehow got to touching the wall of tank and heating up
faster then the water and thus shutting down. Took a while to figure out
the problem. His wife commented that it took longer to get hot water
with the instant heater but I wasn't able to delve into this further
although her husband didn't seem to think it was much a problem. I would
presume their would be a bit of pause while the initial water heated but
wouldn't think it should be long. Might use a bit more water this way
however,
