Just a little thought here. If you have the coach water pump on with pressure in the system, I doubt you'll be able to boil the water in the HW tank. For approx every one pound of pressure you should increase the boiling point three degrees. You should have in the area of at least 30 lbs in the tank so the boiling point will far exceed the temps you can create. Now the pressure side is another point all together, one you'd have to investigate. And the extreme temps of out flow could boil or scald. A tempering valve may be in order.
