Re: [VACList] On-demand water heaters

[Rik & Susan Beeson <rik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a couple of the little Ariston 110v heaters in a couple of rental 
trailers. I have the smallest, maybe 2 gallon. Nobody that uses them is 
really pleased with them... not enough hot water, not really a "heat it 
as you use it" heater. They work, but barely. I would go for a larger 
one if I had to do it again. Also, I saw a recent West Marine sale flyer 
with some nice looking stainless steel 110v water heaters. Something 
made for the marine environment might hold up better than the Ariston, 
which isn't really made to travel.

If you will only need hot water when you have shore power available, one 
of the nice things about an electric heater is NO HOLES IN THE TRAILER 
SKIN! No holes in the side of the trailer, no vent holes topside, NO 
HOLES. Especially nice if you have a trailer that doesn't already have a 
propane heater.

Best regards,
