We replaced the factory installed six gallon hot water tank system with a Truma "AquaGo comfort" instant on water heater in both the 23D and the Classic. The Truma weighs about 24 pounds less than the tank system and we lost about 50 pounds of stored water weight as well.
To prevent freezing, his models Truma will energize a tiny heater and circulate the water in the heater coils when the ambient temperature drops to 41 degrees or lower. The Truma unit is physically smaller than the removed system as well. It does require a small amount of 12Vdc to run the control circuitry.
