Type of Tiedowns used: Torklift
Truck and Camper Setup: F150; Tibrens; Torklift Tiedowns; Pine Mountain Roadstar



Just purchased Starcraft Pine Mountain Roadstar truck camper and I would like to add a hot water heater to the camper. I will probably go with a Girard Tankless Water Heater.

Has anyone installed a water heater in this model of camper?

Does anyone have drawings of how the walls are constructed in this model of camper?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Do you plan to mainly camp in RV parks? The tankless units are nice, don't get me wrong, but they consume more water than using a tanked water heater as it takes a bit before the hot water gets flowing, so aren't quite as ideal for dry camping vs a regular water heater.
