Dear Friends,

Thanks again for reading my posts.

In my rear compartment where the former OTR air-conditioner compressor lived, I have decided to install my water heater. This compartment is also shared by my new radiator and the vehicle air compressor's new drier unit. In my humble opinion, it will not affect airflow to the radiator in the least.

I would NT have done this if this was an LP gas heater. It is a GE electric heater.

Very well done Dr.

Take advantage of every last corner.  I think the idea of at least 1 complete bay open clean thru is good, ours is like that and IMO unless your willing to stack things all the way to the ceiling to utilize all of it drawers attached to the underside of the floor or the  the top of that bay work well to actually add convenient space.

The backside of the doors themselves is a good spot for holders to store folding patio chairs too.

Since the electric water heater is essentially outside now, you might want to wrap the water heater in a blanket and insulate the water lines.  Good Luck, TomC

Thanks for your input!
I set it there for the photo, but am planning to have insulation around it and maybe a simple plywood door.
