Thanks for the info TG! A lot of delays lately has me just about to start the work this weekend!
If you dont mind, can you go ahead and send me your email in case I run into some questions.

One question/concern I have is on the copper water lines running in/out of the heater tank.

Is it ok to assume its 1/2" Di? And that 1/2"sharkbites will work?
Best regards,
Billy J. Chase

The water heater fittings are 1/2" NPT. An adaptor fitting from 1/2" NPT to Flare fitting is used to connect the copper line to the water heater. You won't need 3/4" fittings. 1//2" is plenty.
If you have not resolved this by now. Send me your email address and I will send pics and part description.

Thanks TG! Im not the best with how pipes inner/outer DI are measured, will 3/4" sharkbite fittings and tubing work with the existing copper lines in/out of the water heater?
Thanks again!

Yes. As your pic shows cap off the cold water line after you disconnect it from the water heater. connect the house water to the line at the top of the water heater. just disconnect it and connect your hot water supply line from the house.

Hi TG, you gave me advice on hot to run my homes how water line through the Airstreams hot water heater (thank you).
Is it possible to by pass the hot water heater all together? and connect my homes hot water line before it hits the hot water tank (so I dont have to keep its water hot) and have it then connect on exit water line from the water heater tanks?
Ive attached several images that may or may not help.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks,
Billy
