Don't have a 4inch pipe.

Frank, the fittings for the fresh water tank are 4, 2 half-inch and 2 one and a half inches

Pros cons of electric heater??? Is there a reason you prefer a propane heater

Energy usage. But if you don't use it often then Electric works perfectly.

Hey Frank I have been building my own food trailer. I am getting ready to get my hot water heater and was wondering if you ran into a problem with an exhaust system and is there a video I might have missed on the installation of the thankless hot water heater? Thanks again for your help and inspiration

[@fbaltierrez]

Good morning this particular tank is ventless no exhaust needed for this model

[@juangutierrez8679]

Hi frank, I've installed the seaflow water pump to the ventless water heater excel but the water heater is defective, water is coming out from the inside of the water heater and it wasn't doing it before... has that ever happened to you frank? I've installed it exactly the way you installed it in your video and i read all the instructions, i think is defective and i will return it back..

[@fbaltierrez]

Yes it did happen to me one time but it froze on me during winter months that was the reason for mine

[@juangutierrez8679]

I see! I have to drain the water out after every use during the winter.. I have one more question frank? Did yours smell a little like CO2 or gas from the top of the vent or is that normal.. Thank you so much frank

[@steventate7713]

Hey Frank I meant to say I did have a question about Hood installation in a skoolie since it is an oval shape roof and did you have any suggestions on how to install since I found a video that was helpful but I am so confident by following your video instructions thanks I will be posting some pics
