Don't know if they are still legal, but we used to have one of these, and it was  very unpleasant! The room smelt of fumes, and if anyone used the sink while somebody was in the shower the dousing in cold water.......

We replaced it with a electrical  chauffe eau, no fumes, cheaper to run, no cold shocks, and no gas bottle!

We stayed in a mobile home in the Vendée recently and we had a gas water heater which supplied instantaneous hot water for shower, bathroom and kitchen sink. I have no idea of the make but I am sure it was a modern one. I did notice it had a short vent pipe through the roof. It worked very well. No smells, no fumes and I was quite impressed.

I'm pretty sure all gas water heaters have to be vented now. If you buy one it will almost certainly have natural gas injectors and you'd better specifiy that you want the butane / propane injectors too. Make sure you get both sets as they are a real pain to find afterwards.
