Fresh Water Tanks

The archives detail the marine types of direct replacement water
heaters on the market. We have found that the engine heated feature
takes care of ALL hot water needs when traveling and the electric
function is equally good when parked. Replacement water containers
can be located by Googeling the subject.
We have found that less trouble will be encountered by using the on
board water tank and water pump system exclusively and using city
water sources to fill the tank. Greatly reduces the stress
on 'vintage' plumbing. Once you take a good look at the 'as designed'
water system, it's hard to improve on. On the other hand, there is
much that can be done to improve the DC electrical service. Adding
battery capacity and a inverter charger are top of the list
improvements.
