Not sure the technology is quite there. I've looked at some of the more popular ones in the EZ line, to include the portables and the direct vents. It is not a small water heater compared to the present Surburban. I have seen some motor homes with tankless set ups. Is there a model you have seen?

Why is the industry still installing bulky tanked water heaters? Tankless would be ideal for the R-Pod line,  any other lightweight trailer, and any rv where space is at a premium. 

In 2011 I installed one in my house that I bought off fleabay for $300-ish. We have very hard water, so other than having to flush the scale out of it once every couple of years it has worked fine.  So the technology is there for the rv industry, just wondering why they are not embracing it?
