Hi everyone - I am new to this forum and to trailers and RV’s. I’ve read many posts here but will now likely start asking a ton of questionsf as I’m new to all this! A bit about us - I’m a single mom struggling with major health issues (among them a stroke) and still unable to work while recovering. We recently lost our home because of the resulting financial struggle and moved into the trailer with my 2 older kids at the beginning of November. I’m trying to turn this trailer into a home for the three of us but am working with a super minimal budget and not much support.
Living and functioning full time in the trailer we struggle with hot water supply and I have been looking at options for tankless water heaters. We have the option of an electric tankless as we are lucky enough to be parked on a friend’s property so are hooked up to city water, septic and 50 amp power. The mobile RV service tech we had out for a water leak in one of the lines told me he has replaced the gas/electric RV hot water heaters with electric house tankless heaters with a few minor adjustments with great success for those living in their RV or trailer.
Wondering if anyone here has done this? And if they have, was it successful? I would prefer to not use a propane tankless water heater because of the cost of propane - our power is free. I’m also hoping that if we go this route, I can purchase the new water heater myself and have a friend install it to save on cost.
Any and all advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated
