Question AquaHot Question

I have a 97 Dutchstar Dsl Pusher and the water heater is on its last leg so to speak. Is an AquaHot the way to go? If so which Model should I go with. I would like to stay with Propane style. My Furnace works fine so would be primarily for hot water. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm told the retro fit would be in the $10,000 range, if at all possible. If the rig didn't come with the AH installed is a very expensive retro fit.

What Bob said! With AquaHot you get more than domestic hot water, you get space heating as well. AH would be a very expensive product to heat water for only showers and washing stuff.


There are other on-demand water heater for RV and marine use. Truma, I believe, is one such brand.

I am not sure about that. Op is looking for water heater only, not heat. I think more like 800 including installation.

Probably looking for a propane on demand water heater.

Aqua-Hot, forget it! It would cost more than your coach is worth.

At many rallies, there are people there that retrofit a Trauma "on demand" water heater in place of the tank type. That would be a much better option at only a fraction of the cost of an Aqua Hot, if you could even find someone to install an Aqua Hot.
