I agree about the three energy hogs: space heat, water heat, cooking should be done with LPG/Gas/Diesel. Gas engine in my Promaster. I'm partial to LPG over gas for a variety of reasons, so not going with hydronic unless there is an LPG hydronic system, but prefer to have separate air and water heating. We'll have a Propex furnace and two-burner propane cooktop. First choice for water heating is the Truma AquaGo Comfort or better yet, the Comfort Plus with recirc, but my converter does not want to cut that big a hole in the side for my classic Westy layout, doesn't fit well. Second/third choice are the LPG mini-tank Whale Expanse or Propex Malaga, but AFAIK not available/approved in US. Maybe someday can retrofit, but for now it looks like a small tank electric, plug in only, is the way to go. Bosch 3000Tank 2.5 or 4 gallon is one choice but no drain and I've heard is hard to service. Looks like a better option is the marine grade aluminum Whale S300EW 120V electric, 3 gallons, 1250Watts, includes a drain valve. We can also heat water on the propane burner and may also get a 300W tea kettle or 600W microwave.
