Has anyone done this conversion? I'd like to add an element to my water heater to allow use of 110 when available.

Thanks
Terry

A kit is made that you can add it to the water heater...Check HERE on RV Upgrades one of our sponsors.

Thanks Ken, exactly what I had in mind. Now to convince the wife we'll save $110 in propane over the life of the MH.

Two good reasons for running your water heater on AC instead of propane;

1. Reduces propane use, resulting in less hassle in refilling propane.
2. More dependable than propane. No flame to go out.

A bonus;

You can heat water faster with both AC and propane for faster recovery. The wife can take longer showers.
