Well after a week in the camper I can honestly say the Truma water heater is the best mod I have done to date. In eco mode the Truma takes about 10 seconds longer than the 6 gallon Suburban I replaced. In the regular mode it is as fast as the Suburban but uses a little more propane than eco mode. The fact that the hot water never runs out like it did in the 6 gallon heater will make my DW real happy. I don't dry camp but if I did I would think that in regular mode you would not use any more water than a standard water heater.

I think the sidewall statement of ST being stronger and stiffer I have doubts about. All the ST tires I have ever looked at have soft looking sidewalls.
Then there are these pictures on our LT's and comparable ST's and very close to the same weight and inflation.

These are the LTs nice stright sidewall and round at the bottom.





These are the ST's bulging sidewall and flatter on the ground, almost look way under inflated.



Lol...I was wondering how long it would be before you commented!

I have yet to install it so I will follow up when I do.
I know the post is over a year old, but where did you buy the Truma from? I thought you have to have them professionally installed. Thanks, Eric
