I'm not exactly how the solar water heaters like this would hook up on a house on wheels, but it sure would be cool. I wonder how one like this with glass bottles could be combined with a skylight.

I think they might only work when it is reasonable outside. Rain doesn't help. Neither does cold. Frozen water in glass bottles is also not a great thing as they tend to shatter. Might be a good idea to use the excess heat (flue gas) from your propane / wood stove to heat the water during colder / wetter months with a heat exchanger. This wouldn't steal any heat from the heating of the house, but would allow for more comfortable showers in the colder months.

It would be pretty if not practical
