I talked to the owner of the company, he sent me a bunch of install info, he made me an installer but the cost is so high in labor, not too many folks want to pay it. I talked to three prospective customers, but nothing came thru.
They need to offer this at the factory, not aftermarket.
Hey, how's that instant water heater working?

Why is the cost so high in labor? Did the company dictate how much you had to charge? Are the hours for installation out of line for the normal install? What did you think of the unit? I have seen some videos from some of the RV doctors that seemed to like it. In my case we have weather in the teens and below and snow during the winter. If I got one, it would be usable for me for about 4-6 months. My electricity is included in my monthly fee so there would only be a propane savings for me for sure. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $350+. My estimate is that it would cut my propane fee in 1/2 during those months. I figure I would need to use propane for some time for heating just because of the temperatures.
The tankless hot water has worked out good. For some reason it will cycle through about 4 or 5 seconds of cold water and then back to the hot water. It is kind of nice that we an do dishes, and both Kaye and I shower without any down time for recovery. Pretty cool. I have been unable to see any additional propane use because when we used the hot water before for showers/bathes we used propane and electric at the same time for quicker recovery.
I understand that the Wildcat comes out standard with tankless hot water now. I guess I am just riding the crest of the wave:>) Just hope I don't try to shoot the curl!
