hdoug Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello, I just picked up an 83 21' Sunrader and have unfortunately begun the gut job. The hot water tank and the window had leaked under the sofa. I ripped out the hot water tank, furnace and fresh water tank. I am looking for suggestions on good replacements for these three items. I have a good working Shurflo water pump already that I am going to reuse. The fresh water tank had been stored with vinegar and some other chemicals that have discolored it. Anyone have a good efficient furnace and water heater replacement suggestion? I've been doing research on tankless and think I want to stick to a traditional unit. I've owned a 92 Spirit and 93 Warrior in the past so this is my first Sunrader. I've noticed it only uses a 15amp plug however I'm wanting to go with a solar setup. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? Mainly to possibly power an outlet or 2, fridge (if possible) and hot water heater (again, if possible - I've been researching the electric/gas options). I know my Sunrader does not have roof beam supports so unfortunately I will not be adding an AC at this time. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 For a resistive load (water or space heat, stove), forget solar. Propane is the best way to carry the required energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got that food, you want to keep it good, propane When the stove is on, you'll want to cook on propane The blue flame The blue flame The blue flame Propane!
