Go Tankless or Go Home

Tankless Water Heater

Say goodbye to quick, military-style showers, refilling your tank, and waiting for the hot water to recover. This revolutionary design replaces your outdated tank heater and gives you the luxury of taking back-to-back showers, washing dishes, and running a load of laundry all at once. Unlike traditional tank heaters that require constant energy to keep your water hot, this tankless, propane-fueled water heater only uses energy when you turn on your faucet or shower, providing the ultimate efficiency at a campground or off-the-grid. The endless, on-demand hot water has no recovery time and is perfect if you're on the road full-time or traveling with a large group.


Relaxing Showers without Scalding or Freezing

Vortex Pic

Has your warm and relaxing shower ever been interrupted by a cruel burst of ice-cold water? Perhaps you've been the victim of a scorching surge of hot water that scalds you and sends you dancing out of harm's way. Either way, it's the worst, but those days are over. Furrion's vortex technology is designed to eliminate those dreaded hot and cold water fluctuations by consistently mixing hot and cold water together to reach your desired temperature, ensuring those warm, comfortable showers.


Safety First

This state-of-the-art technology is equipped with built-in safety measures to ensure you, your family, and your RV stay out of harm's way.


Its dual temperature sensors automatically shut off power if the water temperature exceeds 149 F, preventing the unit from overheating while also reducing the risk of hot water scalding. The unit also has a flame monitoring feature that cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out to prevent gas from leaking inside your RV and a built-in safety valve that allows pressure to vent at 87 psi to prevent excess pressure and heat build-up.


Anti-Freeze Control Board

This tankless water heater features a control board to keep itself warm when temperatures drop. Freezing water can damage the unit, so an internal thermostat monitors water temperature and will turn the heat on automatically when it gets too cold. This feature will only work if the water heater is receiving power and gas. You will need to remember to winterize the water heater before storage over the winter.

This unit is amazing, the water become hot in few second. really quiet and easy to install. Be carefull that you have enough water pressure and flow when using with water pump. Open the hot water side and add cold water without reducing the hot side otherwize the unit may shutdown. Instead, lower the unit target temperature and add less cold water. I'm really happy with this unit. Compared to the smaller unit like the Fogatti, this one suit well for cold input water. Fogatti sell their unit showing 2.2 GPM however this is true for input water temperature around 70 deg F, here in Canada our water temperature is more around 30 deg F. I have tested this Furrion unit with a shower and two faucet and I never lack hot water. I really appreciated the fact that three door size is available. I retrofited my Atwood 6gal with this unit using the 16x18 door. Everything worked well. I painted the door and door frame to match as close as possible my RV color.



by:

Our water heater went out. Couldn't of found a better one, in my opinion. Heats up quickly. It's a great water heater.



by:

We went with the Furion unit when we learned that parts were no longer available for our 20 yr. old Fleetwood. No RV repair shops will work on older models these days so I had to do the installation myself.
We are extremely happy with the quality and unlimited supply of hot water which is unheard of with traditional rv hot water tanks.



by:

We have plenty of hot water. As we do a lot of dishes,long showers. Very happy with this product.



by:

will not buy again. lasted 2 trips. copper pipes disintegrated like they were corroded from the factory. do not recommend



by:

When I placed my order I was told there was 1 in stock and my sales rep confirmed with the warehouse that yes there’s 1.
I was notified later that delivery was going to be delayed since “the 1” was sold and we had to wait for the next shipment… it happens but it sucked.
When it arrived the box had a gouge in it. No damage to the unit. Installation was easy. Made a simple grid base to raise the new unit to the height I needed. I previously upgraded my camper with PEX, so a few new fittings and it was up and running. Since purchasing, the unit has operated flawlessly. I won’t go back to a “tank” heater.
ETRAILER.com had a good price and they did deliver in a reasonable amount of time.
Will buy Furrion and will shop etrailer.com



by:

It is nice to hav hot water on demand and not having to worry about running out when you are taking a shower. Don’t have to worry about a water heater tank leaking.



by:

Great water heater! Etrailer did a fantastic job when the first unit I ordered was defective. They got a new one to me in a timely way.

After a year this has been a great water heater. It has a little delay that you have to get used to. The advantages out weigh the adjustment.



by:

Great help and fast delivery! Hard to beat ordering from etrailer.com! Thank you!



by:

Great product and Neil at Etrailer provided excellent service! This company always provides quality products and customer service.



by:

Of all the upgrades we have made to out fifth wheel Rv ( grand design reflection) this is by far the best. Installed this tankless water myself in just a couple of hours, in fact it took me longer to determine where I wanted to mount the controller than it took

me to install the water heater. I did have one leak after install but took care of that really easy. I would definitely recommend a tankless water heater especially the furrion. Not familiar with others but this one is excellent.



by:

Smaller than the Atwood 6 gallon that it replaced and way more hot water. Not to difficult to install.



by:

We decided to go tankless when our atwood began leaking. Installing this unit was straight forward, although I did get hung up on the swap from 110 to 12v. After looking at installation docs for the old water heater, I discovered that the propane/electric selector switch in my bathroom branched off of the 12v system, and wired directly into the control system of the old unit. The heating element was the only component actually using 110. I ended up wiring this unit into the propane selector switch. This gives me a quick way to kill power if needed. Other than this hiccup, installation was easy. It is working like charm, and we are enjoying normal shower times again.



by:

This thing works awesome!!! Heats up quickly, it's quiet...I really am happy I put this in. Install was easy!



by:

The unit was pretty easy to install. It has worked flawlessly for us. It is a joy not to worry about running out of hot water.



by:

Very fast shipping got exactly what I needed and got it installed in 1 day



by:

Works great just take a few minutes longer to get hot water but I don’t run out of hot water now.



by:

Easy installation. Good instructions. Works flawlessly for me.



by:

So glad we added this to our travel trailer! Works great! We're setup in a permanent space, so we get endless showers with this. Well worth the money spent. Thank you!



by:

Quick shipping and one-time. Easy set-up but be careful about freezing temps. Works great.



by:

Fast delivery, great product.



by:

Absolutely amazing! Great instructions, took about 3 hours with a few retrofits for water and gas lines. Well designed in every way and HOT water, BOOM! Love it, L



by:

At this point I have nothing positive to say about this company or their products.



by:

Works flawlessly. Installation was a br eeze.



by:

I have had this unit for a year, it was easy to install and has performed trouble free ever since, thanks for your follow up

  • Recommended Water Heater Replacement For A 2012 Keystone Montana Big Sky 5th Wheel
    If you still have the original water heater in your 2012 Keystone Montana then the options currently available are going to be a bit smaller so you may have to do a bit of framing in order to mount a new water heater. Luckily, we have a video already made showing how to accomplish this, which I've attached below. As for the replacement, I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR. This water heater has a 60,000btu rating and can produce 144 gallons of hot water per hour....

  • How To Connect The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater To The Trailer Power Supply
    The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR has four wires coming out of the back of it; one white wire for your ground, one black wire for your 12v power, and two blue wires that will communicate with your thermostat. You can test your old wiring from your previous water heater with a digital multimeter # PT89ZR to determine which is your power and which is your ground on your trailer's wiring. You can use some butt connectors # 05731-5 and a crimper # PTW30764 to splice your wiring...

  • Tankless Water Heater Replacement For Atwood G6A-8E
    Hi Rick, thanks for the question and the tankless water heater that is closest in dimensions to that is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR. The # FR48SR requires a cut out of at least 12-3/4", a height of at least 12-5/8" and a depth of at least 23-1/2" so you do need to find the actual depth to ensure a fit. The door on this unit is 16-1/8" tall x 18-1/8" wide so some alterations to the door opening are going to have to be made, but this is going to be true of any new heater...

  • Replacement Water Heater For Atwood 96121 Water Heater
    The Atwood 96121, our part number # AT96121 is no longer available from the manufacturer, however I do have another solution. The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR is listed as a direct replacement for the Atwood 96121 water heater, and measures 2-5/8" wide, 12-5/8" tall, and 19-1/4" deep.

  • Tankless RV Water Heater for 16 inch Wide Opening
    Furrion actually has wide door kits for their tankless water heaters like part # FR98SR which is a 60k BTU unit that has the wider 16 inch door kit that you'd need. I attached a review video for more info on this for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement For Atwood Water Heater With no Tank Available
    Hi Carl; Atwood (which made your water heater) is no longer in business and replacement tanks are not made for them, so the best we can offer is replacing your heater with a new one, the tankless Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR. These give you on-demand hot water and are far more energy efficient than heaters with tanks. I know it's not what you asked for but I thought I'd give you the option since a replacement Atwood tank isn't something made anymore.

  • RV Tankless Water Heater with Door Size Close to 15 inch by 18 inch
    Fogatti only has the one door size of 15 inch by 15 inch like the # LSB34FR that you referenced. The closest option we have would be the Furrion Tankless Water Heater part # FR48SR which has a door hat is 16 inch by 18 inch. BTU rating on this is 60k.

  • How Cold Can it Be for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater to Function
    The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater part # FR98SR will work in an ambient temperature down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. If you will be experiencing freezing temperatures long term then it is recommend to winterize the unit. If the temperature just drops to below freezing overnight though this would not damage the unit. If the water heater is indoors in the cabin there shouldn't be any issue keeping it above 32 degrees.

  • Mounting Hardware Needed For Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater FR48SR
    Good question, and there is not a kit you purchase, you will just need to make a visit to the local hardware store in order to get the mounting hardware for the Furrion tankless heater: - Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR What you will need is 1 inch wide butyl tape, and fourteen #8 pan head screws that are at least 1 inch long to mount the heater.

  • Do Fogatti Tankless Water Heaters Come With Trim Kits To Cover Larger Holes
    Hey Rodney, The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR unfortunately does not come with a trim kit to fill in the excess gap left behind from an old larger Atwood model. Instead I recommend going with a Furrion unit for a larger door and better quality performance. Furrion's units come with the following door sizes: 16" x 16" # FR98SR 16" x 18" # FR48SR 18" x 18" # FR68SR I've attached a video below where Jake had to fill in the gap from a larger unit to help give you a better...

  • Replacement For Atwood G6A-8E Water Heater
    Definitely not; if your tank needs replacing the only thing you can do is replace the entire water heater, which isn't ideal but there's nothing else you can do for hot water. The best option for that is tankless, as you not only never have a tank to replace, you also get instant hot water. The Furrion units will fit in the same space as your G6A-8E, and you just need to select the one with the correct size door for your opening: - 16" x 16" Door: Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR -...

  • Replacement For Atwood G6A-6P Water Heater
    Your Atwood G6A-6P looks to be a 6-gallon, gas water heater, and as they are no longer in business, the best option to replace it will be a tankless water heater, the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR. Tankless heaters are much, much better than standard water heaters as they have on-demand, constant hot water that only uses energy when on, so it is far more efficient.

    I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR for your 2017 Jayco Redhawk 26XD. This water heater only requires a 12-5/8" x 12-13/16" cutout so you will have no trouble fitting it in your larger opening. A 18" wide and 16" tall door is included with the water heater so you will be able to cover the entire opening from your previous water heater and door.

    Waste valves aren't really trailer year/make/model specific so the year of your trailer wouldn't be a factor. The only thing that's really important is just ensuring that you're choosing the correct size; 3" for black and 1-1/2" for gray. As for replacing the water heater, there's no guide out there that will tell us anything in your trailer so while I do recommend switching over to the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR you'll need to measure your current water heater to find the...

The FWHO9A-AM refers to the unit without the door, which would be part # FR93FR for our website.

    Great to hear from you again, John! I'm a sucker for the tankless water heaters simply because they have a higher performance than the older tank-style water heaters so I definitely recommend going tankless. Just to give you an idea of the performance, the 60,000 Btu unit from Furrion is able to produce 144 gallons of hot water an hour without having to wait for a tank to fill up and heat up to get your hot water. The Furrion system is the best way to go and for that we have a few different...

  • Recommended Tankless Replacement for Atwood G6A-7 Water Heater
    The Atwood G6A-7 Water Heater is a gas only model. The best option we have for replacement is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater part # FR48SR which is also gas only. It should fit right into your existing cutout with little to no modifications needed. This is a tankless unit which the industry is transitioning to. The Dometic RV Water Heater part # DMC74FR is a gas and electric model which runs on 120 volts so you'd want to be hooked up to shore power while using it in electric mode.

  • Will A Fogatti Tankless RV Water Heater Replace An Atwood GC6AA-8 RV Water Heater
    The dimensions I'm seeing for an Atwood GC6AA-8 RV water heater are 12-1/2" H x 16" W x 18" D so cutout hole would need to be modified to frame in the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR. The access door is 14-15/16" tall x 14-15/16" wide so you would end up with a bit of a gap. I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR instead since it has a 16" x 16" door to cover up the opening. You'll still most likely need to frame in the unit a bit with some wood...
