New to me (Gooseberry) water heater.......

My dad came back from the Quartz Site RV show with this new heater setup. He is installing it tomorrow so I'll try to get more info and pics.

Think he said it runs about $1000.00 all together and runs off 110.

Re: New water heater.......

I'm trying to figure that out. The picture shows the flat plate. Is there a AC
heating element and pump in the box? That place sells Espar stuff but maybe they
make high amp electric heaters for large RV's as well. It's probably be designed to run off
AC when shore power is an option and off the engine coolant when boon docking. There
still has to be a pump in that box somewhere and I'd think it would run off DC.

Damn your a lucky guy. Not only does your dad work on your van, he seeks out and buys parts for it. Once he runs out of projects for it, I'd be happy to bring mine by for some of his high quality improvements. ........

Maybe the 110v electric part is the $1,000 ?? Think I will give them a call tomorrow to find out more.
