6 gal water heater with heat exchanger?

Some breaker panels also prevent you from using thin breakers with notches in the bussbar ends the
Breaker goes on. No notch, no doubles. Ran into that a few times. Make sure box will take them.

Great suggestions for solving the electric supply issue.
So far the original breaker box is doing the job for my unit and I would like to stay with it if possible. Will look into the thinner breakers to see if one will squeeze in there.

Gregsch, wondering about the hose that runs from your inlet to the out let , is that a bypass?

Thanks Richard

Adding a breaker generally isn't the problem. 50 amps is my problem. I need to have a priority selector, either manual or automatic between a AC unit and the electric hot water. Both roof AC units push it close to the max for either shore power or the generator.

Richard, Yes that is a bypass. Bought it on ebay. The manufacturer is Camco. It comes in set with everything you need to complete the installation.

Kota: 50 amps supplies 50 amps to both sides of the system so you have about 100 amps total. 12-13 amps for the electric hot water and less than 16 amps for AC still leaves plenty of room on either side. Of course, you can't run both on the generator output which is usually 20 amps on one side and 30 amps on the other.
