You magnificent b#@&%d!

If you can remember to get some shots of the water heater, I can envision the info coming in handy with my in-laws and their campers, for the future.

There are other isotemp heaters with a SS outer jacket that rv'ers hang in compartments or under the vehicle. These have heat exchangers so they can be heated by coolant from the engine as well as 120vac. I was initially looking to buy the SS jacket, but chose the SPA version, PVC jacket, because it will be inside the Cat and it was cheaper.

Pretty sure the Isotemp above, will look better than this 4yo Camplux propane on demand water heater, in 4 years. Rusty, corroded POS. Ripped it out today while I was installing a new bilge pump with float switch below the blackwater tank. The bilge pump I installed a little over a year ago was plugged with rust from the camplux.

I finished cleaning the compartment where the rusted water heater was and installed the float switch and Rule 1100gph pump on the bottom.







And replaced the worn out head faucet/shower.

Installed the starboard side today. Love it! Compared to the original design.







The maker likes it too.



We used dyneema for lacing.
