I've heard of 5 gal water heaters in RV, and trailers. I had
12 gal heater in one place I rented. Like you say, your
water needs are minimal.

Did you install gas or electric? In either case, a "water
heater blanket" is a good idea. More insulation.

Now that we've thrashed out the heater thermostat setting,
what
about the hot water supply?
I'm starting to think I seriously goofed when I got a new
hot
water tank, rather than go for an on demand system. I
wonder how
difficult it might be to retro-fit one into the kitchen,
anyway?
I might add, by way of explanation, I'm a single guy. That
means
I do the dishes every six weeks whether they need to be done
or not,
laundry when the pile on the floor is all dirty clothes, and
shower
only when I'm leaving the house. Not a lot of demand for
hot water,
on a daily basis.
