Not to mention the need for the 5" Flue in place of the 3" one. If you really want to save money, get a Geothermal heat pump to replace the old A/C and heating unit and use the heat transfer off of it to fill the tank with ample hot water. Run Pex water lines under the flooring to produce radiant heat and install solar panels and a wind generator to operate the new Geothermal heat pump you just installed.
Oh, and add me to your will if you can afford all that stuff.

Who told you that? I talked with a guy at Home Depot and asked him if I'd need a 1" line, he said no...Originally Posted by sammm
nada.....
I think the tankless route is going to be cost prohibitive due to the cost of running a new 1" gas line.
He did mention I'd need to replace the vent, but I kinda figured that one already.
C'mon, you really expect those fellas to know what they're talking about? Very few sales types at the Home Despot know their stuff...Who told you that? I talked with a guy at Home Depot and asked him if I'd need a 1" line, he said no...
He was with Bosch who sells the units at the Depot.
Figure he knew more about it that you.
Checked Bosch's website they show Gas connection (inches) - ¾” NPT.

I think it depends on if you are installing a 'whole house' version or not (and/or the GPM rating).Who told you that? I talked with a guy at Home Depot and asked him if I'd need a 1" line, he said no...

Yeah, but remember, I said very few! You got lucky they had a rep there...He was with Bosch who sells the units at the Depot.

That's some nice backpedaling Matlock!
Backpedaling? I'm standing by what I wrote earlier.That's some nice backpedaling Matlock!
I still contend that most at Home Despot have no idea when asked...
+1. Once in awhile you'll find someone who knows what they are talking about, but not very often.
Lee installed a Titan electric tankless water heater (purchased new on Ebay) in the Spring. Used the existing 220 and just had to do some adjusting to the pipes.
Once I figured out how to adjust the shower, I really liked it. No problems having the dishwasher or washing machine and shower going at the same time.
As the water heaters in our other houses go out, we'll go back with tankless.
Our neighbors got one a few months later, only problem they have is their shower is a single water adjuster (diverter????) while ours is two handled......so they say they have more problems getting the water temperature right.
I can tell you, the water gets HOT!!!!!
Happy New Year to all!
We look forward to seeing the one that you install in the trailer.
Niagra industries does make a 110v model of the Titan.

IIRC - tankless heaters have been all the rage in RV's for about 40 years. The one in my Dad's second camper sounded like a Saturn V, but you ran out of water before you ran out of hot water
