Tankless Water Heater for 1977 Airstream Argosy Restoration

Hello all,

We (my wife and I) are new here and wanted to get some thoughts on our potential plan to put at tankless water heater into our 1977 Airstream Argosy.

We'd been looking for an electric tankless that was 120v (because so many are 220v or run above 30 amps) and came across the RHEEM RTEX-04 3.5kw 120v Tankless Electric Water Heater.

It seems to be a good fit, it's 120v and the max amperage seems to be 29 amps. It seems like a no brainer to me that it would work, just wanted to see if there was something I was missing here, or if anyone else has done this. We would like to have as many appliances electric as possible and plan on upgrading the converter/control panel to this one from Vintage Trailer Supply: https://vintagetrailersupply.com/pro...panel-vts-675/.

Hoping someone can shed some light on anything I may not be considering here, we're not electricians or plumbers or really have any experience in this. We're just learning as we go. Thanks!
