lockmup68 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Had a Truma hot water heater installed. Ahhhhhhh..... the new controller has addition of eco mode and decalcification mode. Takes up way less space than the 12 gallon unit that came out and uses less propane so far. Nearest dealer to us was RVs for Less in Knoxville. They did a great job, wired in an outlet at the same time and helped me move the refirigerator in and out at the same time. Had electric and water in the lot for us to crash overnight. Top quality service. I'm going to take a long shower now....

Shawn Patterson Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I've heard nothing but good things about the Truma! Would you mind giving me a ballpark idea of the cost for the upgrade?

Chad Heiser Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 As I have told you in the past, we love our Truma. It works great and doesn't have any of the quirks of the other on demand RV systems. With your remodel, were you able to get a re-circulation circuit off the Truma? 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Probably not the entire circuit. I'd try to do the shower. It's not a huge loop to make, but if you already have home runs established, then it gets either cost prohibitive or just aggravating because of all the routing.

Jack Mayer Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Generally on a remodel if you have a manifold the best you can do is loop the manifold itself. If you do not have a manifold I'd loop the shower, since that is usually the farthest appliance, depending on the layout of the rig.

Padraic Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hi guys, need advice, Many things in the trailer need to be fixed, air and water heater and may be the frig too. So I see Truma hot water heater is good, right. I am taking my Mountain Aire out of mothball. My original water heater stop working 6 years ago. Is Truma hot water a good fit for my 10 gallons hot water cavity? What should I watch for? Get back on the road soon since 2011.

lockmup68 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Truma is about 1/3 the size of the 12 gal unit that came out. I'm going to build a shelf in the left over area will at least double the storage space under the sink. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
