We are doing our own LQ and My husband does not really want to use propane to heat our water for the sink and shower. We will have a 19 gallon water tank. What do you think of the electric water heaters and what kind would you recommend. Thanks!

I use a Tiny Titan 2 1/2 gal electric water heater I got from Lowe's. It works great for my sink and is very space saving. I don't have a shower though.

electric water heaters work fine as long as you have enough current for them to operate properly. Remember, they draw a lot of current and if you are running off of a generator, make sure the generator is capable of handling the demand. Happy trails.

Shower technique, you turn water, on get wet, shut it off, wash and turn it back on again. this is the way we do it to save on hot water. beats taking a cold creek bath.
