[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,
