Hot water heater

[KennyM]

Greetings,

We have a 2014 Road Warrior 305 toy hauler, online it shows it has a 20 gallon hot water heater, but I cannot find any information if it is in fact that big, hoping someone might know.

thanks

Kenny

Thank you, this is what I have read but that does seem rather large.
thanks,
Kenny

WOW, a 20-gallon water heater tank. That would be nice, until you want to heat all that water.

I found the markings on the hot water heater and it is a 12 gallon tank. This is still a good amount of hot water for just one person camping.
Don't understand why the literature online can't be accurate, oh well live and learn.

Thanks for your responses!

In the past all my off grid camping I have had a 6 gallon hot water tank and never had a problem. But then when you are off grid camping you learn how to conserve water. When you shower you get wet, turn off the water, soap up, and then rinse off, this way you conserve water both cold and hot.
I always camp alone so I don't use much water or battery power unlike when you have your woman with you then it is a different story...LOL

That's called a GI shower.

Oh yes I remember those, but then that has been almost 60 years ago.

I've been doing them for 53 years.
