No doubt about it. I've been involved in those debates over SRW and DRW
Funny enough, it's weight that lit a fire under me to get this figured out. We were going to make this change anyway, but now it's more important. We hit the scales for the first time last weekend and the truck (SRW
) is fine, but we're over on what we have in the trailer. It occurred to me that with a 16 gallon water heater, we're toting around 133 lbs of water wherever we go. By making the switch to tankless, we stand to shed around 150 lbs (tankless are usually around 30 lbs, this tank weighs upwards of 50) and get endless hot water.
