Trend 23 B - continuous hot water heater?

[JBP]

Picking up our new to us 23B Trend next week. Looking forward to it.
Has anyone had problems with the continuous hot water heater in the 2014 model?
Does anyone know if a second AGM battery can be added to the 2014 b model?

The older (like mine 2016) Truma hot water heaters need to be cleaned depending on use. Truma allows dealers to do this with a dealer only device. The newer Truma hot water systems come with the ability for the owner to do the cleaning without any additional cleaning devices.
I like the unit overall, when hooked up you can get hot water till you run out of propane.

The Truma systems prior to this year have to be dealer only cleaned periodically. The new ones have the capacity to self clean by the owner.
Plenty of hot water.

Ours is a 2014. What is the cost for having dealer clean it?

[NYBobbo]

I have paid around $120, I spend months in my rig. Seems south Texas water isn't the best and I spend 2-3 months there. One cleaning a year seems to work for me.
The cleaning takes a few hours to run it's cycle. Remember to flush out the water lines after.

I winter down at LaFeria, The price is good and I get to go to Progresso, Mexico.
