On_Demand water heaters are tankless and use a large amount of gas/heat in a short period of time. They need a much larger gas line in the homes. Great for homes but I have not seen them in trailers yet that I know of.

I turn gas and elect on when needed. and it works pretty good and keeps up better

So is she super paranoid about natural gas in your house, or do you operate with 100% electricity at home?

Unit Costs $750 and that is not installed.
That sure would buy lots of propane.
I just both electric and gas and works well for my DW and I.
Personally I try and use electric as I'm paying for it already at the campground. I leave just the electric on and if we plan back to back showers I kick on the gas for quick recovery.

When using an on demand WH you do not turn on the cold water but use the flow of the how water to adjust water temp. I woulds not recommend using an on demand heater unless you are at a site with full services. If you are dry camping you will go through a tank of fresh water in no time and have a full gray water tank.

I just wish the gas furnaces were more energy efficient! i have the suburban p-40 and it is apparently used in mobile homes to. I swear if the ducts were larger in diameter and there was a couple more vents that it would heat the trailer easier in less time and use less gas.

I did try to get mine converted over to natural gas (on a permanent lot) but nobody will touch it without $2000 deposit down before they will even book the service call...
