Ah yes, which came first? The chicken or the egg? There is not much
difference in the recovery times of a 240 volt water heater vs a 120 volt
one. But, neither one of them can compare with a good tankless propane
unit, as well as most of the larger tank style propane units.
But if the object is to eliminate propane from his vehicle, there are more
electrical fires in RV's than propane ones. Either one will burn the coach
to the lugnuts.
