Installation instructions are included with the Dometic RV Water Heater, # DMC74FR and from what I understand is not greatly difficult for a knowledgeable/trained person to install but for safety above all things, gas leaks and the harm that comes from such, is cause for the "Note: Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier". If this is not abided, then warranty will most likely be voided.
Since you will be using this as a replacement, not a new install, the current switches will most likely be able to be used, provided they are still in proper working order. You may or may not need a trim kit, that is dependent on your dimensions. The cutout for this is 12-3/4" tall x 12-3/4" wide x 19-7/8" deep.
