Question:
I have a small trailer and my hot water heater we out. I was thinking of installing a tankless outdoor propane 110v water heater. Do you have a suggestion?

Hey Aaron,
While we have a good option for a small tankless water heater, there aren't any that run off 110V power. What we do have that doesn't require you to hook up to anything is one that runs off a pair of D batteries, the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR.
The # EX93FR is small at just 11-1/4" wide x 14-5/8" tall x 5-1/4" deep and gives you 1.6 gallons of hot water per minute, so it's a good size for a small trailer and really nice for those quick showers.
