The new Jayco van come December, has a 22lt hot water heater Gas/ Electric.
Does this mean it will heat and stay heated, a total of 22lt and for how long.
How long dose it take to heat to the maxium. I assume the gas wouldn't take to long Can both of us get a tub out of the 22lt, if I go first before Lambie.
Regards Jim & Lambie

Jim, ours heats in about 20 min. to half an hour, and enough for two showers, but that's not including teenagers.Thats on 240 volts.
On gas I can have a quick shower in ten min.
It keeps the water hot just like the hot water cylinder in your house.

we have a standard hot water heater which is gas/electric.
when we use it (in a CP - its their showers for a long , slow one), we wet down our body, turn the water off, soap and shampoo all over, then wash it all off (take the shower off its holder and use the hand piece where its needed in the difficult parts). This way you have plenty of hot water and don't empty out your water tanks so quickly

That's what we do also Bruce. If free camping we catch the first cold water that comes through hose into a basin, and use for making coffee or tea.

Hi B & L,
Are we talking 1-2 Lts or more. As We want to conserve as much as possible too.

Gday...
Brandt - do you REALLY use the cold water from the HWS to re-heat and make tea/coffee?
I have seen what is sitting in the water from the sacrificed anode - doubt I would want any of that in my cuppa
OK for keeping for doing the dishes or washing me feet though

John, I will tell you in a few days time. It is on my to do list in getting the van ready for travelling again, removing the anode, checking and then flushing with hose.

I tend to agree with you John after replacing the anode a few weeks ago!!!!
