Roger:
No doubt, you have already noted this list is loaded with theoritions and
conjecturists.........among which I number myself.
That being said, here's a couple of theories from ME.
1. We are the only nation in the world that STORES hot water...far less than
energy efficient. Therefore, in favor of efficient space and fuel use iwould,
if I were you opt for the propane fired demand type hot water heater. ( will
be installing same on board the 30' Trojan I'm restoring ) This fulfills your
criteria of being independant and also gives you endless hot water as a bonus!
2. The reason raw water cooled engines are not good candidates for heating
water is they run too cold. A Fresh water cooled engine runs at around 180 to
190 deg, much like your car.
Hope this is of some help to you.
