Atwood Gas and Electric RV Water Heater # AT96117 is a quick-recovery type that is intended to provide a long-lasting supply of hot water. However, water staying hot for 36 hours, a pretty long time, suggests that the unit has cycled back on to maintain temperature. This unit operates on both 120V electric and on propane so odds are your propane supply maintained water temperature. My contact at Atwood/Dometic said the unit is unlikely to keep water hot that long without cycling on.
