    AS a former gokart racer, I assume you have to use pump gas. Naturally in karts, that was the case but many went to great lengths to dump nitro. Many tracks dumped fuel from all carts into a tank and then fueled them asthey went out on the track. Like I said many went to great lengths to develop systems to "dump" nitro. That being said, what type of tech is used to monitor displacement, stroke, etc.?

    It looks like most tankless RV water heaters are either gas OR DC, not combo. Most are about $200_250 or so. One combo jumped out by Rogatti but expensive, $500+. Our experience from others is propane responds quicker but you can be running for propane a lot. At camp I just turn on the electric in the morning and leave it on all day. We don't have tankless, yet. My theory is that once it's hot it stays pretty well. It seems a DC water heater would suck your batteries down rather quickly, unless the generator is keeping it up. I'll do some more reading on the tankless at my trunkcamper FB group. They'll have opinions for sure.
