We bought our Girard endless hot water heater 6 years ago and it has been great! Their customer service was friendly and quick to help. We've been very pleased with it.

I put a Noco jumper in my truck 2 years ago when we went full time. I finally got to use it twice helping people in the campground who needed a jump. Thing rocks!

We love you guys💕 your kids are adorable and you two keep us laughing 🍷 Marisa I’m with you long and the hotter the better 🔥 safe travels 🌎

When we went full-time about 18 months ago, it was a must for my wife to have a tankless hot water heater. I had the furrion tankless installed and we live it, it actually saves on propane usage. The only downside we have found is when we are staying in an area where the outside temperature is constantly above 90 degrees. The tankless has a hard time adjusting itself and will often reach 10 to 18 degrees hotter than it is set at. The closest fix we have discovered is to turn the hot water on the faucet and switch the power off to tankless heater and wait until the water runs cold then turn the tankless on. Hope this helps

We will be living in our RV full-time starting next year doing disaster relief missionary work and I hope one day our paths will cross and we get to meet you guys. Love your channel!

JJ is just the cutest little boy!

Family of 4 and never seem to run into a lack of hot water, but we do need about 10-15 minutes recovery between bigger back to back showers. Sounds like your routine will benefit from this plus being full timer. Enjoy the hot water, love to hear a follow up on how you feel the propane usage has been after a month or so.

You are my favorite RV family thank you for the education on the batteries

A Furrion tankless water heater came with our new 2022 GD Reflection 28BH fifth wheel. The salesperson made only a brief mention of it. This is a hidden gem. We love it, and it performs better than words can express. Never a problem with running out of hot water during our camping trips. Temperature is always consistent and always provides as much hot water as we want. If you're thinking of upgrading, don't hesitate! Great video, as always.

Sounds great!

Since you have a meter that can do volts and can read millivolts you can do a lot of testing easily. One - Start with the engine off. Measure the DC voltage at both batteries (in a parallel connection like yours they should be the same) you want to see 12.4-12.6 with a fully charged battery. Now start the truck, turn on the high beams, turn the heater blower on full. Now check the battery voltage again. Under load you want to see 13-15 volts because the ECU will bump up the voltage to charge the batteries and still power the loads. If you don't see that the alternator is suspect. Next is to see if the alternator might have a bad diode in it, that can cause problems because the components are looking for clean DC power, AC will do bad things, for this test you simply disconnect one of the batteries negative terminal and then go to the other one and set your meter to AC and measure the battery voltage with the engine running. You want to see zero volts AC. Now take your meter and with it set at around 20 volts connect one lead to battery positive and hold the other lead on a good bare spot on the engine, In a perfect world this would read zero volts. However because of corrosion, resistance in the wire you will see some, BUT you should not see more than a very few millivolts, Anything higher than that and you will want to check and clean the battery cable connections to the engine block. Now do the same thing but to a bare spot on the truck body, Same thing you want to see as close to zero as possible, now check the frame the same way. Replace or repair connections as needed. Same thing will work with trailer lights and brakes, you would be shocked at how bad some connections with get in a short time. GM has been having braided ground straps from the block to frame fail in under 2 years! Other makes like your Dodge use similar connections and that brand is very well known for having bad grounds. As for parasitic draws there are a few ways but one of the better methods puts your meter in line on one of the negative battery terminals (you do need to disconnect the second battery while testing). For that method try Brian over at the FordTechMakuloco channel. He covers the old school way to test for draw.

Missed you guys at the rally. Safe travels

Very helpful video. I have a Ford and last year had an issue (especially in cold weather) where my truck wouldn't shift into gear right after the engine started. Shortly after, I had to replace my batteries. I'll bet that was the issue all along. Thanks for the education.

Great video! Definitely gonna look at a tankless thanks

We have battery issues with our Ford. We appreciate AAA battery service! Make sure your stereo and AC are off. And unplug everything. Phone chargers, tire minders, etc. we discovered that all of those things stayed on even when we turned the ignition off and consequently had tiny little parasitic drawing down the battery. The AAA battery service is amazing.

We replaced our 12 gallon with a Furrion Instant on when we got home from picking it up. Love it, it is important to find out the families water temp and set it at that temp and only use the hot water.

Ricket's Glenn State Park is a beautiful park with RV parking.

I drive past this campground everyday for work

I had the same battery issue on my Ram 2500. Too much corrosion on the terminal of one battery caused not enough connection and made it parasitic to the other battery. Crazy!

I find it interesting how little hot water you got from your 10 gallon hot water heater. I would have changed too. But we are in our 2nd unit with a 6 gallon hot water tank and running propane and electric we can’t out run the water, it’s like an instant hot. Maybe it’s the settings, maybe we have less pressure that gives the water more time to heat, maybe it’s that it’s easier to keep six gallons heated than 10, who knows. But as a family of four and long shower takers we have never had an issue. Because of that and the few draw backs of an instant system (navy showers are intermittent cold shots if you don’t have a water miser installed) we never considered changing. Also like that even when all shut down we have a tank of hot water we can use if needed. Good video, glad you got it installed and looks like it will for you and your family.
