DM T@b Owners....Anyone Install a Hot Water Heater?

HoBo

I’ve been boondocking for two weeks and everything has been great...except for the lack of hot water. I know I saw someone added a hot water heater mod but I have searched both here and the Yahoo groups and have had no luck finding it. Anyone? TIA!

Not available for boondocking, but I installed an Insinkerator Hot Water Dispenser. Works on 110. However, before that I used a Zodi Propane Hot Water Heater. The unit I had came with a small battery operated pump, could be put on a 1 pound propane bottle or put on a propane tree on a 20 lb tank. You basically poured water in a bucket, inserted the pump and it runs through the coils and you have hot water.

Hmmm.....I will look into those. Thank you. In perusing this forum I believe you are one of the most important sources of info for the DM’s. THANK YOU! Not just for this post but I have seen your knowledge and experience all over the board!

Thank you so much I've had my T@B since new, and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off (at which point I'll get a new frame and keep going). I love messing with it and making it my own, and incorporating the best of what nuCamp is providing, but NOT putting in some of the complicated stuff that nuCamp is now using.

@HoBo, the only thread I found was discussing the types of hot water heaters installed in the older TaBs and how to winterize.  Maybe connect with some of the members in this link to get some ideas.

@HoBo, I remember a post of a DM t@b for sale with many modifications and upgrades. The most surprising to me was a propane water heater installation on the tongue of the t@b. I don't remember the details, and the trailer had so many upgrades it was soon sold, and thus deleted from the forum quickly. Maybe the reason you remember seeing it (I do too) but it can no longer be found.
