For those of you with cabins on your places, what propane water heaters have you gone with? I’ll need to replace an electric 30 gallon water heater with a propane water heater. I’ll be running off generator power now instead of electric service. Are you mounting the heaters inside or outside of your cabins?

I used one of those for a camp shower a while back, It did work well. I wonder if it be enough for our shower and 2 sinks. I really like your setup with the heater and pump? Is that cabinet homemade?

Made it from scratch. It's worked flawless for the last 3 years.

My old lease had a 20 year old conventional 40 gal water heater in a bunkhouse for six that always provided plenty of hot water.

Buy an on demand water heater from Sportsmans Guide. They work well.

those little tankless are great... replaced the $400 RV one in my old trailer with $110 tankless... you might consider 1 in bathroom / one in kitchen

![]() ![]() This is a screen shot of our new setup. I still need to work on cleaning up the electrical and a few other cosmetics. It worked great. We used to carry this in and out of our little cabins to take showers and run a sink and decided it was time for a stand-alone bath house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes, It's vented. We leave the doors open when in use.

I intend to install a 12v fan above the heater that I'll kick on during use. I also plan to leave the window cracked so air will flow. This is not a recommendation or guidance but, in my experience with these little heaters, they don't run long enough during a short shower to cause an oxygen depletion situation. Keep in mind, they only fire up when the valve is open/water is flowing through them. I guess if you took a long enough shower in a non-ventilated area, you could run into an issue.

I added a external faucet( bypassing the heater) to run a water hose to the cleaning rack nearby. Runs off the same pump the shower does.

You can adjust the level of flow and temperature on the heater itself. I rely only on that, rather than having a hot and cold knob. I only have the single valve you see right outside the stall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Make dang sure you drain those water heaters if you expect temps to drop below 32. Don't ask me how I know how important that is.

I have a small propane heater I never used. Send me a PM and I can get you info on the one I have. I will let it go for a good price.

I got an Eccotemp from a buddy, installed it last week and it works great. Takes a min to heat it, but all good after that.

So my heater works, but inconsistently. Our water pressure is strong. I have a pressure tank and a shallow well pump supplying our cabin with water from our 1500 gal storage tank. The kitchen sink and bathroom sink don’t get hot water. I believe it is a limitation of the pressure through the water heater. The shower gets plenty hot
I believe the flow rate if the Eccotemp water heater is 3GPM it slightly below Any thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Have any of you guys had issues with faucets not pulling enough gpm to ignite the heater?
