[VAC] Re: Water Heaters

[Wayne A. Moore]

Hey Jim,        Try this link to the Precision Temp 500 Tankless water heater. Three other members of the WDCU have these installed in their Trailers. We never run out of hot water!!! We can drain the freshwater tank, all 30 gallons if we need to (course we don't). Its nice to take that long shower when we have full hookups.   http://www.precisiontemp.com/RV-500Page1.html   Later   WAM ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Greene To: Multiple recipients of VACList Sent: Friday, April 27, 2001 6:47 PM Subject: [VAC] Water Heaters My '68 Tradewind needs a new water heater. I asked a parts man at a local RV store which heaters seemed to give the best service. He said he preferred the Atwood. He also said that he would suggest the 6 gal size over the 10 gal size because the recovery rate on the larger 10 gal size was slow and I would actually get as much useful hot water out of the smaller unit for that reason. I have never heard that comment. The '68 Tradewind came with a 10 gal tank according to the owner's manual so that's what I was anticipating replacing.   What's the collective wisdom and experience on the 6 gal size vs. the 10 gal size and is there any reason to favor the Atwood over the Suburban models?   Jim Greene WDCU #1148
