Question:
Is the Fogatti FG76FR too much heater for a smaller Class B van? I only use it for dishes and quick showers.

Alan, the 55,000 BTU # FG76FR tankless water heater will actually work fine in a van. Its microcomputer control scales the flame down when you’re running just a trickle at the sink, so you won’t waste fuel. Max capacity is 2.9 GPM, but it doesn’t “over-fire” if you don’t need that much. Sidenote: if you’d rather match the door to white paint, # FG66FR is the version.
Have you already got a service door cutout in your van, or would this be a fresh install?
Other van folks here - do you like the tankless water heaters?
