Hey Buddy, good to hear from you again!
We don't have any water heaters that use the Motor Aid feature, and from my understanding that's an outdated system so you'll have a hard time locating even a used water heater with this feature.
From what I was reading, this feature was designed to basically "pre-heat" the water so you wouldn't have to wait as long to get it. If you replace your water heater with the Furrion RV Tankless # FR98SR you'll actually get instant hot water and this guy is rated for an impressive 144 Gallons of hot water per hour so gone are the days of "military" showers - you'll be able to take a nice warm shower just as if you were at home!
