Has anyone ever installed an under-sink plug in electric water heater (preferably continuous) in an Anthem? Aqua hot provides continuous hot water, but for a cost. The cost is waiting for the hot water to get to the kitchen sink wasting time and water. It's okay for those long showers, but often, we just want some instant hot (really hot) water from the tap in the kitchen for drinks or a few dishes.

Anyone?

Installed one on my last coach. Called point of use water heaters. Mine heated about 1.5 gallon and used about 1400 watts, just plugged into receptacle under sink, had its own faucet.

Any details you could provide about the hookup and installation would be appreciated. What brand/model did you use?

You can put in line with your existing hot water line or in my case , taped into the cold water line and put a separate faucet on the sink, just like what you would do with a sink water filter. I had a 110v outlet under sink so just plugged it in there. I used a Dayton and they do not appear to make them anymore. The one in the video is about twice the size of the one I used.
