Still need answers: prospective owner

[davidkerryedwards]

I'm with you. I don't like electric hot water heaters. I will
probably install a gas tankless hot water heater in the future. Had
one on a motorhome in Europe and I really liked it. A small Paloma
can be mounted on a wall and vented thru the roof. Unlimited supply
and very efficient. You could leave the existing heater in place.
I have one sitting in my basement waiting to be installed.
Having just moved from a Travco 220 to an FC, I find the amount of
storage huge. No lack of space to carry tools, spare parts, etc.
