No idea if this is good or bad. Just FYI...I have an Espar

They have become optional in many motorhomes, and the reviews aren't great. The big problem is temp regulation. Unless you take a shower at full flow, the temp fluctuates quite a bit. Could be user error, but it irked some folks enough to switch to standard tank heater.

Wonder if its any worse than the temp swing that the Espar produced w/o the tempering valve? I almost burned my scalp off.

Getting one of these to mount to my trailer...they also have a newer L7 unit, a bit bigger

I have the Eccotemp 5 and I like it. Mounted on a removable container which holds my propane bottle and nearly 14 gallons of water with water pump. When I need it, I throw it in the van. When I don't, I take it out.

We're using the Ecotemp-5 on the front of the trailer. If it were not on board, I'd likely be camping solo. I dont have a photo of the combo, but we've since discovered that the waffle boards I purchased for getting us unstuck someday get far more use as a shower floor.
