This looks pretty interesting. I just did a quick comparision between the RV500 and a Suburban 10 gal. Here is what I found out.
Precision-Temp RV500
Recovery - Shower temperature water output at 1.5 gpm (that's a heavy shower) with incoming water temperatures low as 40 degrees
o 20-pound tank of propane provides approximately 940 gallons of shower temperature water. That's 626 minutes or 10 hours of shower time.
Dimensions, 13.5" Wide x 14.5" High x 13.5" Deep
Weight - 35 pounds
Suburban - SSW10DE Combination Gas & Electric Water Heater-Direct Spark Ignition
Recovery - gallons per hour gas = 10.2 electric = 6.0
Output - 12,000 elect / gas 14,40BTU
Dimensions, 16-7/32" Wide X 16-7/32" X High X 20-1/2" Deep
Weight - Empty 45.5bls Full 82.6lbs
Considering cost and performance I think I may change the plans for our new truck over to the tankless variety.
I welcome everyone elses thoughts and comments on this.
Thanks for the post Dave B and thanks for asking the question Geo
