First Road Trip checklist ...

[mbulriss]

Sounds like it was right in the area were I suggested to you in response #46843.
Most all the 80s PT model water heaters are there.

As for your re-heat question, my 83 and my 91 both were ready to take showers in
about 20 minutes or so after turning them on, so I had no complaints. As I
recall, Bob Lawrence added an on-demand unit (propane fired?) in his and
documented it in the Photos section. You can try searching there.

As I suggested in my prior response, a generally accepted courtesy to the other
members on this forum is to sign each post with a name, location and year/model
so that questions can be more accurately focused. This has been a member-driven
request and you will typically get more responses with a signature.

Thanks,
