Hi All
I am after information, good or bad from other forumites who might have an instantaneous hws in their caravan or had one in the recent past. I currently have a Truma BT14 hws that needs replacing and am looking to replace it with an instant system instead. I have searched previous threads here but they tdate back several years so I am looking for up to date information.
Thanks
Snolly

A couple of years ago, I installed one of these.
WHITE Camec Digital Instantaneous Gas Water Heater.
Totally useless! Can barely get to 37 degrees C. It only has a 37,000 BTU heater.
A better option would have been the Suburban Nautilus instant gas hot water; it has a 60,000 BTU heater, and only requires a round hole to be cut in the outside wall.

I fitted an Endless Hot water system (brand name) with digital temperature setting & it’s been great (don't get the one with dial setting) it will give you the temperature you require at the flick of a switch. The best way to use is set temp for shower or whatever & don't touch it or taps again until finished if you turn off during shower you will get some cold then boiling water again & then back to std temp you set, So it does use more water as the best way is set temp turn on & leave on until finished It has no tank so no corrosion or anodes, It can handle freezing conditions as no tank to freeze & split , no waiting time for water to heat, if you’ve got water/gas/12v you can supply hot water continuously , the model I have is designed to replace the suburban hot water system,
mine is fitted to a large slide on that’s on a 4wd truck that’s done
Cape York, CSR, GRR etc. without any issues. Good luck on what you decide there is so many on the market
