Hi there RV and trailer owners. Today we're going to be taking a look at a tankless water heater. The door is available in either white or black. We're going to be showing off the white today because it matches our trailer a little bit better. In most cases this unit is going to be a direct replacement for an existing tanked water heater that you have, except this one's going to be tankless. It fits in your same slot, you have the same exhaust outlet and overall it looks fairly similar except for there's no tank inside.

And the benefit of not having a tank is that this heater is designed to heat the water as it flows through it, which means unlike a tank heater after you've used up the hot water in the tank, the temperature starts to diminish. Whereas this guy here is just going to maintain whatever you have the temperature set until you just run out of water. It's going to heat it to that point, no matter what. There's no running out of heat with this guy.And this is what our unit looks like when it's installed here. You can see that it does hook right up to your hot/cold as well as your gas lines and it uses the same existing wiring that you had before.

And the rest of the wires that was for your old unit, you don't need to use any of those because this one comes with its own monitor. So you can adjust the temperatures on it to whatever you want it to be set at. You can adjust the temperature on your remote monitor between 95 and 123 degrees Fahrenheit. So you can get those real hot temperatures for those in your family that like it really hot and the cooler temperatures for those that are a little bit more sensitive. The real gain in efficiency for this water heater is that propane gas is only used when hot water is turned on.

If there's no need for it to cycle on to keep water hot, then there's no demand. The tankless water heater should be 18 to 24% more efficient than the tank style in terms of propane usage.Another thing that's great about this unit is that it can protect itself. It does it in a couple of scenarios, one is in extreme cold temperatures. If it's down around the freezing point, the unit will kick on and heat itself back up to keep your pipes warm so that you don't have any bursts. It also protects itself for a flameout condition where if the pilot light or the flame goes out inside the unit, it'll then shut the gas off.

So that way it's not just continually pumping gas into it, which isn't getting burned since the flame's not there, which would just cause it to enter your cabin. So it protects you from that scenario as well. The unit can handle up to one and a half gallons of water flow per minute and produces 41800 BTUs, which is enough to heat the water that's flowing through it to the desired temperature that you have set.Now we've got it installed, we can take a look at it. We've got some of the other members of our team that are going to come in and give us some more insight on the product inaudible 00:02:37 at home. So do you guys have any particular questions about this particular one here I was just curious overall how well it performs I know we did the XL-1 00:02:50 before and I didn't know if you guys had a chance to play with each one, see the difference Yeah, we didn't get a chance to use the other one that Jake had in here previously, I believe it was XL. But I do believe Jake used it. He said he really liked the way it worked. This one should offer similar performance. It is larger in size than the other one that he had. The other one also was a battery operated unit, so it still ran off propane, but it used a battery to ignite it versus this one here is wired in. So it uses your existing batteries, not to just a small one that's on hand. So this one's a little bit more of a permanent replacement. It's just going to be, the other one's permanent as well, but the other one's smaller. You can fit it in the location. With it being battery operated it might even be easier to install if you we're putting it into something that didn't already have a water heater.This one fits right in the same space, but maybe if you we're tricking out an enclosed trailer or something, the XL-1 might be
