I am looking to replace the hot water heater in my 2000 Montana. Been looking around on options of replacement heaters.
I currently have a 6 gallon and would like to get a larger one. It looks like I have plenty of depth for a larger one.
My question is should I go with 10, 12 or 16 gallon tanks? The price differential is around, 10 gal. $430 - 12 gal. $460 - 16 gal. $640.
Typically larger is better for most things just curious if too large a tank can cause any issues? And is a 16 gallon even worth the price jump?
Has anyone replaced their heaters with larger ones? If so, were there any screw hole pattern issues or any concerns I should be looking for?
I appreciate any input. Just want to make this as smooth as possible.
