Water Heater for Hunter Compact II

We are thinking about purchasing an instant hot water heater for our Hunter. Does anyone have recommendations for a brand that will fit? Where might we get one? Thank you in advance.

It's been covered in many threads.
Greatest drawback is "instant" isn't instant. You have to run water before it gets up to temperature, filling your grey tank and emptying your fresh water tank.
With the insulated water heater tank ( six gallons ), I turn it on for about a half hour in the morning and have hot water until it's time to do dinner dishes. Turn it on again for a half hour and you're done.

Actually how long my tank less takes is related to the size and length of the line to the faucet.
My unit provides HOT water in seconds at the heater and cost about $85.00.

What do you have for the heater?
We're just getting a used Scamp 13 without hot water.
Thinking of adding a heater so maybe adding a shower later.
Gas or Electric?
Thanks

The tankless I installed is a Fastar that cost me less than $90.00.

Search here for Fastar, Tankless and you will get a fair number of results
The unit provided hot water pretty quickly , limited by the flow time in the line from the heater.
Run smaller hot water lines for quicker heat or mount closer to the point of use.
I fabricated the stainless steel box with a Lexan front for weather protection
