Water heater recommendations

[Houdini]

Hi I have been looking at the bobil 12v electric water heater and wondered if anyone has any experience using this ?

I currently have a 350w solar panel and 2x 110ah batteries . Would this be enough to power the Bobil without draining the battery?

If anyone has experience of other 12v water heaters I would be interested to know your thoughts .

Many thanks

Not for long enough to produce any meaningful hot water.

Off grid water heating is pretty much just gas.

Carver Cascade 2 are pretty good, but it's a big hole to cut, Truma Ultrastore but same issue, don't know any others.

Or alternatively - significantly more expensive

Big kettle on gas.

I have one of these 12v units in the loo/washroom, i switch it on from the cockpit when driving, ok of batteries and solar when parked if only lightly used, gas or diesel best if parked up in wintertime.
