Actually an electric water heater isn't a bad idea. Get it cooking while in transit thru the inverter, and you'll have plenty of hot water upon arrival, and will continue to do so if you have a quick recovery unit. Geof is not far off the mark in his desire for all-electric power. Why carry two different fuels (three for those, uh, individuals who have a GAS genset in their Diesel-powered rig), especially when one of them(propane) carries a HUGE hazard potential. Just because 95% of all RV's use propane appliances does not minimize this hazard. It's hard to kill a habit that has existed for as long as RV's have existed. All-electric power is not only feasible, it's surprisingly easy to do. I have to say, though, that the jury is still out on the Incinolet, even though I know that Geof feels it's a pretty hot item. ;-)
