In today's modern American RV is the water and inside heated, just by gas (LPG) or duel fuel, electric and gas?
The reason I ask is that the vast majority of European motorhomes and caravans have dual fuel water heaters and 'blow air' heaters that will work on either mains electric or LPG.
It would seem silly to be on a campsite at which you are paying several dollars for your electric hookup as well as having to supply your own LPG to heat your water and the RV,or is this the 'norm' in America?
I have just today in a British American RV magazine seen an advertisement for 'Hot Rod Water Heater Kits'. The kits for Atwood and Suburban 6 gallon gas water heaters claim the device fits via the drain plug and is for 110volts -500 watt and 220volts-600 watt.
By the way I have never heard of either of those makes of water heaters so can I take it that the vast majority of American RVs have one or the other installed?
