   In planning our trips in our soon to get 180 we are afraid we will run out of hot water and are not used to GI showers.  Since we will rarely be dry camping we do not have to worry about filling our grey tank.  Has anyone switched out their water heater for a tankless?  While Atwood model has terrible reviews and the Precision temp is better but needs cutting a bigger hole, the Truma AquaGo is is the best and easiest. Although not cheap $1099 and few dealers carry it.  If you did not switch how long does a hot shower last and how long a wait to get hot again assuming you use both electric and propane simultaneously?

	Personally, I would not do the switch to tankless. The recovery rate is fairly quick using both electric and propane. Plus the hot water is REALLY hot. Because of this, I just don't use a whole lot of it. I'm using mostly cold - with the hot just barely on. IMHO, I'd give what you have a try, for a trip or two. If you are not happy with it, then make the change. That's my $.02

	This unit is really great. We use it at home. UNLIMITED hot water! http://www.amazon.com/Eccotemp-L5-Portable-Tankless-Outdoor/dp/B000TXOJQ4?ie=UTF8&keywords=tankless%20water%20heater%20propane&qid=1463862831&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 Not sure where you could mount this.
