Is there a video out there showing a hot water tank installation on a 1988 Bigfoot fifth wheel?

ANSWER: Hi Jack I am afraid that there is no video out there on how to specifically install an RV Water Heater in a Bigfoot 5th Wheel Trailer. But the video below should give you the information you need to properly install your water heater.

One of the biggest complaints by RVers is not having enough hot water to take a long shower in their RV. If you also have this complaint, you might want to consider replacing your existing water heater with a Tankless RV Water Heater. Tankless water heaters produce constant hot water so you won't run out of hot water right in the middle of your shower.

I hope this helps.

Happy RVing
