Richard,
The best I am able to measure at this time is tank diameter is approximately 16.552", I have measured the circumference around tank and tubing @ 53.125" thus assuming tank would be 52.125". The copper tubing OD is .500", and there are 31 complete coils, plus approx 36" of copper tubing (cold line) before coil wraps start and 16" that go from last coil (hot line) to mixing valve. This roughly equates to 139' of 1/2" copper tubing, I may be all wrong on this, please correct me if I am.
"I am scheming on ways to make the hot water last longer."
Please let me know what you are "scheming" before I completely rebuild this and put it back in the coach. I am in a rough spot here, PAM wants to take a HOT shower in her coach! We just came back from a week in West Virginia, she did not appreciate using the camp showers. LOL
Some of the things I am doing.
Completely redoing all the pluming on the AH system and bay.
Adding shut off ball values on both sides of all 4 pumps.
Replacing and moving both gate values on tank to ball values.
Will be using blue and red Pex, and replacing every 90 degree fitting, with sweeping 90's.
Relocate mixing value to an easily accessible place.
The hot water coil has passed pressure test.
The coach heating coil has passed pressure test.
The Tank has passed pressure test. (the radiator cap starting leaking past at 11psi, replaced with new 13psi cap and pressure held fine. I am going to read the manuals and make sure this is correct cap pressure.)
In process of testing engine preheat coil.
