    2020 Vibe 28RL Water Heater upgrade

    I am wondering if any other Vibe owners have upgraded their water heater? I understand the reasoning behind having small water heaters in an RV (gray tank sizes) but am currently full time RVing and not moving around so dumping is not an issue. Thanks in advance.
