What about the land power wiring (if it has it)? For the same power, 110V draws twice the Amperes as opposed to 230V.

Well done, that looks like a nice camper and very neatly constructed, good job!

I don't know if these are available in the US, but google "tila continuous hinge" and you will find a sealed hinge that I believe is German built and available here in Europe (but quite costly!).

Yes, no trickling water indeed. I read someplace else about using a valve and running the water back into the tank for another reason as well: navy showers! Not that I like them, but the idea was that - when conserving water by switching the flow off completely - you would get scalding hot water...

Gas is heavier than air, so it will flow to the bottom. To get rid of it, you need sufficient ventilation in the floor. Also, keep the gas bottles upright all the time,so in case of a leak in the connection or in case the pressure inside the bottle rises to the point the safety valve trips, only...

Yes, from what I have read, the AquaGo is a very nice (but expensive) unit. However, Truma don't sell it in Europe, only in the US. Go figure: I am in Europe (Holland), Truma is a very well-known brand over here and they have a product I would like to buy (let's assume money is no object...

Thanks Dave, I appreciate it!

Hmmm I didn't know that. I did a search but came up empty. If you happen you find more details, then please post here. I will do the same. Hi Dave, thanks for the feedback. Good to hear regarding the build quality. And yes I know: no navy showers with a heater like this, but that is kind of...

Thanks 1Louder for your feedback. I looked up Turtleback Trailers and I think you're right about them offering this unit as an option: they mention "Atwood On Demand 50.000 BTU water heater" as an upgrade. When I was searching this forum for people using the Atwood, I found someone selling a...

Hi David, My understanding is that the RV550 is the successor to the RV500, which is/was largely identical to the Atwood. Be this true or not, I don't find many reviews on the PT models, whereas the Atwood gets quite some good reviews on Amazon and some other forums (with the occasional...

Haha thankless, priceless! You almost had me thinking you were a sales rep for Eccotemp with the text you posted, but I got the information from it that I was after: the type / model number. I hope your unit delivers what you got it for, please report back when you get to finally using it!

Thanks papawheely! And just to quote myself: I started a separate thread to answer this question: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/147389-Atwood-on-demand-water-heater-in-a-quot-family-adventure-quot-rig

Sure, no problem! You're considering getting one yourself? In the reviews I found, people seem very happy with this unit, but as far as I can tell they mostly use them in regular RVs and 5th wheelers. As I don't plan any heavy offroading with my rig, just regular paved roads and some occasional...

I don't have the exact size available, but here in Europe, I think 4 to 5 inch is about a regular size. It's enough to fit your through to reach in and clean out the bottom of the tank with e.g. a sponge.

Lately I've been looking into on demand water heaters (see http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/146649-Built-in-pass-through-water-heater-anybody-done-that) and after considering the portable (indoor/outdoor) variety, the Atwood 90205 model seems interesting...

What about an Atwood tankless on demand water heater? I find myself looking at one of these more and more: http://www.amazon.com/Attwood-90205-On-Demand-Water-Heater/dp/B007S3MTI8 Seems to get good reviews. True, it is more expensive than e.g. an Eccotemp indoor model (and living in Europe...

That looks like a nice setup! Which model is that? I read up on the indoor models and noticed they specify stainless steel exhausts, staight or angled ones. Do Eccotemp specify any details on the air channel for the inbound flow (location, dimensions, etc)? I didn't find any.

Off-topic, but still: if you don't have an inspection hole, then how are you going to service your tank (for sanitation etc)?

Great build! I was in Spain for business last week, not all that far away from you (Salamanca) but not a moment to spare and pay you a visit, unfortunately... I am wondering though: what is the shower's hot water supply? Diesel powered as well, and what type and capacity is it?

You have given me a few things to think about, thanks for sharing your experience.
