[@blackduck7851]

Re: the water wastage in the shower. That is a common problem on boats too, especially catamarans where the run from the heater in one hull is a good distance to the shower in the other. An option is to put a T junction in at the shower with a timed solenoid on it. With the solenoid closed the water is diverted back via the junction to the main water tank. Then when the timer "times out" the solenoid opens and you get your hot water in the shower. So essentially you turn on the shower and nothing seems to happen for two minutes...then out comes hot water.

[@mhughes4444]

Jason, plumb a recirculation loop in the water line for the shower so when it is "closed" during the warmup period it dumps the fresh water back into the tank. (Closed means water is circulating but wont come out the shower head) After a couple minutes mom can open the valve and hop into the shower. Minimal to no water wasted. I have one of these loops in my home. Best thing I ever added. Instant hot water everywhere and no waste.

[@LtDan-hr8qv]

Best and most pratical comment

[@scotth2781]

To address the water waste in the shower complaint, you could mod the system by installing a valve and hose. When the valve is open the water is sent from the heater back to the water tank through the hose. Close the valve and the water comes out the shower normally. The heater is fooled by the constant demand but you are not wasting water because it is sending the heated water back into the tank. For the complaint about the knobs, change them to locking knobs.

This question may be more than can quickly cover, so you can use it as an idea for a future video 😉. When moving to vanlife or RV living, what are the must haves from the factory versus what would you rather install yourself? I'm sure Mary would answer differently from Nikki and Jason, so would love to understand the different perspectives. Thanks for sharing! You're rocking it, Mary!

Have you thought about installing a shower recirculation system? With that you use a total of 3 gallons constantly hot and can stay in the shower as long as you want.

[@MikeSheasheaDtree]

Can you give me a website to to statrt negotiating 3 gallons?

[@backthebadge4009]

Boy can I relate to having RV company/employees getting it right. We’ve had the same problem on the boat. Boat repairman come out to fix something, and have to come back 3-4 times over a month to get it right. It’s insane. We live on our boat and these guys don’t understand this is our home. Not having this or that for a week, or waiting for parts, or for them to come back a week later is a huge inconvenience. Good job Nikki and Jason for helping Jason’s mom get this right with your knowledge and expertise.

[@crashk6]

That hot water shower situation can be solved with an 12 volt pump, setup as a demand circulation call pump, with temperature sensor at the fixture and on demand push button, no water waste, and just a small amount of additional 12 volt power used, only when the call button is pressed. Hot shower! I use the same thing in my "land house" to not waste water while getting hot to the low flow taps. Back that pantry pullout with a piece of lauan on one side (nicely finished of course), and some shock cord on the other side. Then add one of those short throw flip over slide bar locks in brushed nickel. Like what you'd use to have the "peak out" gap in place of the older style security chain on a front door. If there is room inside the cabinet box I'd also add two or three stiff roller toggle latches (fully hidden from view normally). BAM! Practical stylish pantry!

[@pdzh]

You got ahead of me. I just installed one for a friend of mine in his super sleeper truck.

I’ve never had on demand hot water in our RV but have researched those Truma units quite a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say it takes anywhere near 2 minutes to heat up or such a problem wasting so much water. Airstream must’ve goofed up something.

[@jim28fl]

Jason add a recalculating loop/pump on the heater for the shower issue. That should cycle the water in a circle back to the heater and provided infinite hot water on demand to the shower. No loss. Thats the way we do it on residential homes. Got be a reasonable plumber who can figure out a easy way to get a small 3/8 line back to the heater location or the FW tank re fill, add check valve, and wire in a small Dc circ pump on a switch by the Shower or run of the demand pump pressure maybe. Even if you forgot it on for a day wouldn't matter much except LP consumption. The newest residential heater units do this internally now with a small low flow pump and a loop line in the home. Its not as complicated as it sounds. don't waste the water send it back to the beginning before you turn on the shower head and send it down the drain basically.

[@azclaimjumper]

Truma makes & sells a HWH with a 1 liter reservior so the water coming out of the faucet is ALWAYS hot.

Only thing missing is a small dog, like a little Yorkie. Enjoy your travels, see you on the road...

[@kurtdanielson993]

For what she paid for the van, all of those simple upgrades should be standard. Nice van, now.

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Hey Mary, all the peaves mentioned are fixable: 1) *Hot water* - A recirculation valve can be installed so no water is wasted while being brought up to temperature. Basically, it's routed right back to the fresh water tank until you close the valve. Really simple, very affordable and pretty easy to install. A recirculation path can also be installed for endless hot water/showers on very little water. Saves on fresh water while not filling up the grey water. 2) *Latches* - Locking marine latches can be installed...probably with very little modifications to your cabinets and drawers. I'd be surprised if they were very different from what's on _Curiosity._ No more 5 mph cornering. 3) *Pantry* - Some easy fixes can be installed to improve the usability of the pantry. 4) *Couch arm* - Two words: Industrial Velcro. We use it all the time in place of mechanical fasteners. It really does work. Jason and Nikki already addressed the solar, battery and inverter issues, so I'm sure that you're good there. I'd love to help you make you new home just right.

You can add a water recirculation pump at the shower. Hit the button before taking a shower. The pump will force cold water back to the water tank, instead of down the drain. When hot water reaches the shower, the recirculation pump will turn off. Hot water at the shower without wasting water.

They really should upgrade to the circulating version of Truma that fixes that wasted water issue.

You can also pull down the Icon Menu on a newer Samsung Phone, and select Wi-Fi Calling.

I totally agree with your mom's assessment of her van regarding wild camping and the power/water situation. The industry is not thinking about wild camping. They are eliminating propane appliances to go with electric (residential fridges, etc) but the only thing supporting that much electric is shore power as an option. I was planning on upgrading my camper but have been outfitting my current one over the years for all camping experiences.

That's a beautiful RV, Mary..congratulations. I am a bit surprised, however, that Airstream doesn't have their stuff together a bit more. Locking cabinets, usable and efficient water heater and perhaps a built in generator? If you are never going to tow anything, you could mount a small platform on the tow hitch (assuming there is one) and have a nice little 4k generator for when you want to boondock. Run it for an hour a day and there you go! Good luck with this unit and have a wonderful time!
