I know the tankless water heaters work great on gas or a high voltage. What I was trying to find out was can a 115volt 1800 watt .04 gpm unit used during summer months heat water enough to make it useable?

Using it for an actual shower? No.
A normal shower rolls 105-120* at 1.5gpm(low-flow) to 2.5gpm(average).
At .4gpm (and roughly 95*), it's going to be about like a dog pi$$ing on your leg.
Those small POU units are designed for tepid water from low flow sink faucets.

Check the specs out on this one:

But if you're on 30a shore service, you're going to be showering by candlelight. 26* rise at 1gpm and 18* rise at 1.5gpm, though. Tolerable.
