[A/S] Hot Rod
I bought one from Camping World right after we bought our '93 Limited and
checked out the installation and was a little apprehensive about doing it.
I brought it to Marty's USRV in Freetown, MA and they about laughed at me for
asking them to do it. I think it was a bear of a job and they didn't want to do
it. They told me that those things only heat the water up a little and they
aren't worth the $70 they cost. (I think they used the $ analogy of how much
does the heater use in LP?)
I called Camping World in Myrtle Beach to make an appointment for January's trip
and let them know I had this device and wanted it installed. He told me they
charge either $20 or $30 to install it and if I wanted the switch for $17 or so,
then that would be an additional $20 or $30 installation. I asked him if it was
worth it and he told me that almost everyone that comes in to get one is coming
in because someone else suggested them as a good money saving item.
I am looking forward to getting mine installed. I will let you all know how it
works after a few days on the road.
