I have dealt with AquaHot units for a few years but this one sure seems to be different....
As I understand it, Newell had them built with an extra 4500W 220V electric element and a 110V heating element to take advantage of 30 amp shore power .
The beauty of the Aquahot is the hydronic heating AND continuous domestic hot water for shower, faucets, washer etc.
My question....
When it is summer and the AC's are on, what do you do to heat up the domestic water for shower using the electric elements while hooked up to 50 amp shore power ? Flip the electric heaters switch ON...right ? But that kills the AC's.....makes no sense....You can not have electric heating elements to heat up the water for shower unless you shut off the AC ????
Looks to me like the only option to get hot water and still have AC in the coach is the fire up the diesel burner....is that the way they built it ? Can that be right ?
