Great list and certainly a big job. The only issue is HWH (I've highlighted it in your list) HWH is the manufacturer of one of the best RV hydraulic leveling systems that is used on most Newmar motorhomes. While it may well be used to describe a water heater, it is far more used in reference to the hydraulic level system.

Actually there is no such thing as a hot water heater ( HWH ) . There are heaters that convert cold water to hot but they are simply called water heaters ( WH ). ��

Besides, heating hot water would just be silly!

Reading that there is a HWMBO acronym gives me hope that it might someday come true😎.

All I know is that if someone starts off with IMHO, they are not being humble and everyone should duck. It's more like "Now Listen Here".
