This is one I don't think I'll find answers to in the archives, so, honestly, I didn't search.
I'm looking at both these water heaters to potentially replace my ecotemp L10.

My L10 is working fine, but it's 7 years old and it is kind of a pain fiddling with the flow and heat valves. I've been spoiled by the tankless in my camper that you just set to a temp and it does the rest (though I hate it for other reasons, namely the water it wastes). The L10 also is very hard to regulate in the heat lately, as I have to set the flow to a minimum amount to get it to light, but then it's hard to set the flame low enough to prevent too hot of a water temp in the shower. So maybe it's a bit overkill on size.
The newer ecotemp I linked to is a bit smaller so that might be a plus. I believe it is not thermostatically controlled and that is just a digital readout of water temp. I have a call into them to find out. With the camplux, there is a manual flow control knob, and it automatically adjusts the flame to the output temp you select. They also make another one like that with half the output (similar in size to an ecotemp L5).
So 2 questions. Does anyone here have either of these? I always questioned if I should have gone with the L5 size rather than the L10. For those of you with an L5, does it supply enough hot water in your place when the temp drops outside, or were you wishing you went with a larger unit.
