small point, but has caused us some thought:
we rented roadtrek simplicities, which have hot water tanks. It takes maybe 15mins to heat the tank, but you get hot water within less than 1/2 litre. We just bought a zion, which has on demand hot water, so the heater comes on when you open the faucet. It takes about 1 litre to get hot water out and if you turn it off mid shower you get a chilly surprise a few seconds into the rinse off.
The extra 1/2 litre is important when you consider the small grey tank size - this is our boondocking limiting factor.
But, with the tank system it was difficult to control the temperature of the output and quite likely wasted as much just avoiding scalding, so I used a jug instead of the shower head, the on demand has a temperature adjustment, so I use the shower head, probably using even more water!
