Are those shore power amps or 12V DC amps?



John.
Those are shore power amps. The unit calls for a 30A breaker and wired for a 30 A circuit.

Here is my Propane Tankless water heater install. It turned out better then I hoped. I really like the way it turned out.
151454
I stalled it inside.
151453
this is the final look. I braced it so it wouldn't flop around during travel, or windy days.
151452
151451
151450
151449
This is the only way I could find to support and brace it coming out of the top of the trailer.
It is a floor flange for a toilet. LOL!!!

I used Pex turning for plumbing it. Great idea!!!

:applause: :thumbsup:
Very Cool!
Have you used it yet? It's sooo nice to have your own shower etc. on demand. They are really efficient once you get the hang of it. Makes all the difference in your comfort level and ability to live in a trailer.
Nice job.

Install looks great! :thumbsup: Keep us informed on the functionality and dependability.
I really like my Aquah Plus, but you will probably use yours a lot more than me,
so you will be a better guinea pig, Haha. Maybe I should refer to us as pioneers!

I use is several times a week. I LOVE it!!! Glad i went with this model. The digital readout is really nice. being able to set the time is “money”!! I set up the shower to run Hot and Cold, but after the first time i showered i stopped mixing it. I just set the temp on the heater and turn on just the hot water. It is so nice to have endless hot water.
I have done something really cool with the shower but want to finish it out more before I post pics!
