The typical American shower guzzles about 18 gallons of water at a rate of 2.1 gpm (gallons per minute). It’s warm, steamy, refreshing, exfoliating.

If you replicated that same shower in the typical RV, you’d run out of water in about 2 minutes and 52 seconds. Barely enough time to work up a lather.

For decades, the standard RV water heater* has used a 6-gallon tank. Larger RVs may use a 10-gallon tank.
