We only have one water heater that is not tank-less. That is the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR. The # DMC74FR water heater has cut-out dimensions of 12-3/4" tall x 12-3/4" wide x 19-7/8" deep. The door is available as # DMC58FR.

The RV industry is moving towards tankless water heaters, they are a lot more efficient and standard (tank) water heaters are getting harder to find and find replacement parts for. A tankless option like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR produces up to 144 gallons of hot water per hour versus the 12 gallons per hour the # DMC74FR produces.

There are also 3 door sizes for the Furrion water heater to allow the cut-out to be better covered.
- Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater (16" x 16") # FR43FR
- Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater (16" x 18") # FR63FR
- Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater (18" x 18") # FR73FR
