    Adding an Accumulator and Hot Water Recirculation Loop

    We generally camp with full hook-ups, but our extended trips are typically in State Parks in the Rocky Mtns which generally have Elec only… so, we use the 12-V water pump, a lot. I’m thinking it would be helpful to add an accumulator to the fresh water system to improve overall performance...

    Converting a 26RKE From Tankless to Tank Water Heater

    Has anyone dumped their tankless water heater and gone to a tank? I would love to do that, but I know I will have to account for a tank and size and getting electric to that space. Not a fan of tankless as it really makes boondocking hard and really uses a lot of water. It has basically...

    I have a 2023 Jayco 195RB and I made the move from a Suburban tankless water heater ST-60 to a Suburban tanked style SW6DE. Took a bit of time with the electric and plumbing changes but the Aqualock fittings made it easy. I had to change out a single 20A circuit breaker for a tandem 15/20A...

    Girard question.

    Just replaced my Girard tankless hot water heater with the Girard second edition. When connected to city water, the water is automatically filling my fresh water tank through the tankless hot water heater. I don’t think it’s supposed to operate like that. What am I missing?
