Tom,

To answer why not, sometimes I dry camp for several says without moving
coach, so engine heat is not good option. Same for electric only water
heater.
Also don't want to run engine or sometimes generator just to heat water,
especially when already have propane on board. Hence when came time to
replace water heater, seemed liked the best was to replace with tankless
heater.
