    Tankless Water Heater upgrade when purchasing a new Imagine?

    We are about to order our new trailer and I am wondering if anyone has experience with a new tankless heater? We will do most of our camping in parks with connections and if I could find good tankless model or a good gas / electric upgrade I would imagine (sorry for the pun) it would be nice.

    One of the problems you will find with tankless water heaters is that they require x amount of flow to keep the burners ignited. With the low-flow items in a trailer, and the filtration you really want on the input-side of things, the biggest complaint I hear is that keeping required flow above x is an issue.

    I would agree with RamGunner. The 6 gal water heater on the Imagine is gas/electric, so if you turn both the electric and gas on you would have a quicker recovery time (17.8 gal.hr).

    A few tank less options are from Truma, Girard or Suburban. If money is no object I am sure it could be done to retrofit one.
