Planning on having hot water in our LWB T6. Just trying to assess the various routes to achieving this. The Whale expanse will heat faster, is more expensive and requires LPG install. Surecal is cheaper, but need expansion tank and possibly an accumulator tank, so a more fragmented/space taking installation. As a leftfield option, I have seen these Elgena tanks: ELGENA KB6 COMBI WATER HEATER 12V-200W / 230V-660W, Motorhome Caravan Water Heating Equipment - Grasshopper Leisure which are appealing due to the price and the easy installation. The instructions for this (attached) concern me in a couple of ways. It states that if the boiler is used without water, the temperature safety device will need to be replaced.....seems like this could happen simply by leaving on when the tank runs dry. It's not clear to me whether low pressure from a submersible pump is a problem/ how this would work.
Please share you experience or assessment of these or other hot water systems.
