Go Tankless or Go Home
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 This revolutionary design replaces your outdated tank heater and gives you the luxury of taking back-to-back showers, washing dishes, and running a load of laundry all at once.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
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.

First trip after installing this water heater. What a difference having unlimited hot water! Installation was fairly straightforward but did require some fabrication- using some 2” aluminum L stock to reduce size of hole in sidewall and making a support for the water heater in the cabinet. Very happy with this water heater
by: Kyle10/13/2023
As several people have mentioned - Mine arrived with casing damage even though the box was pristine. Be prepared to do some body work before installing. That's the ONLY reason I didn't give 5 stars.
Other than that I have absolutely zero complaints and we should have installed one of these years ago. I had a 12 gallon tank water heater that got a pin hole in it somewhere so we decided to upgrade. The existing cutout was bigger so I had to use some 2x2 boards to reduce the frame size. Everything went together smooth and, after purging the water and gas, we had hot water within 10 seconds.
Simple operation and hasn't given any issues after the first 10 showers. Time will tell on the reliability, but things look promising.
by: Regina05/09/2024
We needed the tankless heater for our large group. We have alot of kids! This was amazing!It accommodated us and all 14 of our kids without fail. We put it to the test and it's performance was great. We traveled for 5 weeks during the summer and it performed great! It was just what we needed and it made our vacation
by: Nicholas 03/10/2024
Iv now had this for a year, my most concern was how it does in negative temps. And I did perfect in -20. Only thing that froze was the flow valve pipe. But it took 8 seconds to thaw out with a torch. No big deal. After learning that, I turn the hot water on very low flow at night while sleeping. But so low that it wouldn’t kick the water heater on so I didn’t burn gas all night. But after that. Never frozen again. Kept 124 degrees while showering at -20. 10/10
by: Anthony 06/14/2024
I would give it a 4.8 star is if could. It works well. The minimum water flow that it calms to work at higher than advertised but non the less it works good. Instal was easy with on 4 wires.
by: Ron04/06/2023
I've only had this installed a few hours and all I can say is wow. Took a full 25 minute shower and it was fantastic. The folks from etrailer were great. I called with some questions and Will was great, he answered all my questions accurately and friendly. The free 2 day shipping was also great since my 2 year old Suburban water heater has started leaking. Everything about this transaction was awesome. I did have to frame in the opening to fit the tankless since it's a bit smaller without a tank. Some of the reviews say the water doesn't get hot enough, if your flow is to much then it will take a bit to get to temp. I have an adjustable pressure regulator and had to back it off to 50 psi. Plus, you don't need to crank your hot water all the way up, with these water heaters less is more. Turn your hot up enough to stream then regulate your pressure with the cold side. It's just a little different than a conventional water heater. Best money I've spent on my 5th wheel. Thank you etrailer.
by: Jason 06/13/2024
Its is a nice unit and so far heats up jjst as it should. But for a really expensive unit at least it should come with mounting screws. The manual states it uses (12) #8 pan head screws to mount the unit, but #8's are way to small. To ensure a secure mount to the unit it required #14 pan head screws. I also used #12's to actually mount the unit to the RV. This should be looked at. All in all its going to get a work out this weekend.
by: Mark 05/10/2024
Great product! On demand hot water is a must for any RV!
by: Gerald09/19/2022
The staff at etrailer are fantastic! They answered all my questions quickly. The whole order processing went smoothly and shipping fast. The installation of the new water heater went better than expected. I'm very pleased!!
by: Paul 04/15/2024
Our first order was lost. However, etrailer jumped right on it and immediately sent another one out. Outstanding customer service! We have a RV tech coming tomorrow to install; can't wait for hot water on demand!
by: Kayla 12/18/2023
Product has been awesome, small learning curve about the propane line needed. We ended up dedicating a cylinder, line, and regulator to operate only the water heater so it is now separated from the furnace and stove. This prevented us from having to reengineer the lines.
by: Gregory 02/10/2024
This product works as advertised. Installation is straight forward and fairly simple. We love never running out of hot water in our park model trailer. Etrailer is a top notch company that truly provides professional customer support and service. I highly recommend both.
by: Kurt 04/30/2024
The heater works really well. Minimal amount of work to make it fit the existing opening from old water heater.
by: Phillip03/14/2024
Works well when it works. I've gone through 3 of these in a year. Like I said when it works, it's good. Otherwise it's junk
by: Scott 11/30/2023
I bought this unit a year ago. It was the best thing i've bought for the camper. I would highly recommend it if your thinking about replacing the water heater.
by: September09/06/2023
We bought this water heater to go in our 32 ft pull behind camper we use it all of duck season for the 22 23 season and it worked perfect I would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to get rid of the tank style water heater and third grade to tankless water heater takes up less space and worked as it should we had no problems with it so far
by: Ben 01/30/2024
This is a great product and I highly recommend it. You can have a nice hot shower while someone’s doing the dishes. No problem. Also, customer service is spot on. I ordered this in an emergency around 5 pm and it was delivered the next day.
by: Kevin10/09/2022
Great product, easy to install & looks great it replaced a 10 gal. Water heater. My wife loves the endless hot water.
by: Ernest 09/07/2023
Thanks for the follow up. The WH has been working fine other than my wife using tank water that was low and the bypass must have gotten trash in it. I purged the system and cleared it.
by: Austin10/26/2021
Outstanding water heater, it was a bit smaller so I had to take some 2x4s and 3/4 plywood to fill the gaps. Just to be clear on the installation I ran new wires to the battery with a fuse to be sure it it would have a full 12 volts. By getting this water heater we gained a 15 amp circuit, that I we will use for a dedicated plug for our pellet smoker. Sure is great to have hot water after a week with out.
by: Eric 03/20/2024
Install went smoothly, directions were good and it has worked well on several trips. Thanks
by: Mike 09/02/2023
Great product. Hot water anytime you want it. Uses much less propane then tank model. Great purchase...
by: Carl 09/17/2023
It works, no complaints. Hot water in 15sec. I would give it 5 stars if I got hot water in 5 seconds as I hate wasting water.
by: Karen 06/06/2023
The unit was easy to install and fit well in the original water heater space. The outside door fit nicely and the whole installation looks great. The hot water is never ending now and the system works well.
by: Jerry 09/12/2023
this is the perfect water heater for our camper

- Does Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR Have Freeze ProtectionThe 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
view full answer... - Do Furrion or Fogatti Tankless RV Water Heaters Use More Propane Than Tank HeatersExcellent question, and tankless water heaters like those from Furrion or Fogatti will actually use less propane than their tank counterparts. The reason for that is the tankless heaters only use propane as the water is being used, so if you hop in for a quick shower, for example, propane will only be used when you have the hot water on. Tank heaters, on the other hand, heat the whole tank of water (and take much longer to heat), so even if you don't use the whole tank of hot water with...
view full answer... - Will Tankless Water Heater Conserve Energy While Off-Grid CampingHey Mike, that's a good question and the answer 100 percent is yes, go with a tankless water heater while off-grid camping. They use less energy and work faster so the only water and energy you use is exactly what is needed. All you need to do is find the best door size for your camper, though you'll have to make some adjustments/trimming with the cut out in order to replace your Atwood water heater there's honestly just no way around that because water heater door sizes are not universal....
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For An Atwood G6A-7 RV Water Heater At this point you'd be much better off replacing the unit entirely, but newer units are a bit smaller than the prior models so you'll likely need to do a bit of framing to fill in the gaps and properly mount the new unit. Tankless systems are much more efficient and can provide hotter water for much longer than their tanked counterparts. For a bit of perspective the G6A-7 has an 8,800btu rating and will give you roughly 12 galls of hot water per hour. A tankless unit like the Furrion #...
view full answer... - Replacement Water Heater Solution for Atwoood GE16EXTThe Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater part # FR68SR will be an excellent replacement option for your Atwood Water Heater. It comes with an 18" x 18" door which is the largest size available and it's designed to fill an existing cutout measuring up to 17" wide x 17" tall. The door you have now should measure 14 by 18 inches which we don't have an exact replacement for. Tankless water heaters are great because they basically supply endless hot water.
view full answer... - Can Atwood OD-5001 Water Heater Valve Assembly Be ReplacedHi Rey from RV Express, According to my research it looks like you're needing the Modulating Valve Assembly 90268 for the Atwood OD-5001 Water Heater. The Atwood water heaters have been discontinued for a while now so I'm not surprised you guys are having a hard time finding the right part. We don't carry the part either but if you try searching that part number online you might get lucky and find something. Since parts for the Atwood water heaters are becoming more scarce it's also worth...
view full answer... - Replacement Tankless Water Heater for Atwood G6A-7EThe Furrion Tankless Water Heater part # FR68SR would be close enough in dimension to what you have and door size that it would work great. It also allows you to not have to worry about running out of hot water like a traditional water heater does.
view full answer... - Recommended Tankless RV Water Heater Replacement For A Suburban SW12DEL RV Water HeaterTo replace your Suburban SW12DEL RV Water heater with a tankless water heater I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater 60,000 BTU # FR68SR. This unit features a heating capacity of 13,000 - 60,000 Btu, well above that of your Suburban. The Vortex system mixes hot and cold water to eliminate fluctuations and reduce the risk of hot water scalding. It has smaller dimensions at 12-5/8" L x 12-13/16" W x 19-3/16" D so you'll need to make slight alterations to your cutout hole to fill...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Water Heater for an Atwood GC10A-4EFor your Atwood GC10A-4E water heater, I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR. This water heater has a 13,000 - 60,000 Btu heating capacity, has cut out dimensions of 12-3/4" to 12-13/16" wide, 12-5/8" to 12-3/4" high, and requires a depth of at least 23 1/2".
view full answer... - Recommended RV Water Heater Replacement For A 2002 Fleetwood Bounder Motorhome There isn't a "direct" replacement for the Atwood GC10A-3E RV water heater but we do still have an option for you with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. Motorhome's typically have a special door for their water heater that matches the color of the motorhome, which usually can't be used with another model water heater because of how they mount. If the door has its own mounting flange then you might be able to get away with pulling it off and reinstalling it with the # FR93FR,...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Suburban SW6DE Water Heater Hey Jarrod, The dimensions I'm seeing for the Suburban SW6DE are showing as 12.69"h x 12.69"w x 19.19"d for the body. The access door will be a bit larger so you'll want to take a quick measurement to see which new size you'll need to fully cover any gaps and make the overall finish nice looking. You'll want to go with a Furrion water heater since they're the best performance-wise and have the least amount of troubleshooting issues. The SW6DE can produce about 10 gallons of hot water per...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GCH10A-4E RV Hot Water HeaterThe dimensions of the Atwood GCH10A-4E are 15.5" x 16" x 19.2" so I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 18" x 18" Door # FR68SR to ensure that the door completely covers the cutout hole and any scuffs from the old flange. This unit is 12-5/8" L x 12-13/16" W x 19-3/16" D so you'll need to make some slight alterations to your cutout hole to fill in the gap but the performance output of this unit will be worth the work. You'll want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ around the...

The Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR you were looking at has a 6 gallon tank and requires 120v AC power (and lp gas). Personally, I recommend switching to a tankless system like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR. Tanks typically end up having issues over time and require more maintenance so being able to eliminate it will save you a lot of...

This comes in a few different configurations depending on what you have/need: Water Heater Only - # FR93FR With 16" x 16" Door - # FR98SR With 16" x 18" Door - # FR48SR With 18" x 18" Door - # FR68SR Attached is a review video for you to check out!
view full answer... - Where Can An Excel RV Tankless Water Heater Be Installed In A 2007 Fleetwood Nitrous Hyperlite TTBecause the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR uses propane it's not a great idea to use it in a small room like the bedroom or bathroom in the event that there was a gas leak. With these rooms being typically being smaller there's not going to be enough oxygen to dissipate the gas in the event of a leak. This system also has a ODS sensor that detects oxygen levels and will cut off the unit if the level goes below a certain amount. Mounting the unit in a small area with no ventilation...

- Is a Replacement Combustion Air Shutter Available for a Dometic 6 Gallon Water HeaterI do have an option for you but we don't offer this replacement part for that unit. The only option we would be able to offer is a full replacement which would not be a bad idea as you could take this time to upgrade to tankless which will provide an endless supply of hot water that is a big improvement over the six gallon tank you'll be replacing. The best replacement option we offer for a Dometic/Atwood RV Water Heater is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater part # FR68SR. It won't be...

It comes with an 18" x 18" door which is the largest size available and it's designed to fill an existing cutout measuring up to 17" wide x 17" tall. Please note, the cutout is the size of the opening on the RV once the existing cover is removed. This is a tankless unit so it will supply an endless amount of hot water.

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.

view full answer... - Is There An Adapter Plate To Cover Gaps Left When Replacing An Atwood RV Water Heater Hey Matthew, We don't offer the Suburban brand so I'm unsure if they offer an adapter to cover up the gap left from your Atwood Water Heater. I typically recommend Furrion because their tankless water heater is one of the best options on the market and they have multiple door sizes to cover up gaps. To put it in perspective the SW6DEL maxes out around 16 gallons of hot water per hour, whereas the # FR93FR can produce up to 144 gallons of hot water per hour. If you want to switch to a Furrion...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Atwood GC10A-4E Water HeaterI recommend using the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater part # FR68SR to replace an Atwood GC10A-4E Water Heater. I have verified that the cutout dimensions will not need to be enlarged and the door on the outside will cover everything. The only thing is that it only comes with a white door so you might want to pick up a can of spray paint if color is that important. We don't have any others with a black door that will fit well.

Yes, it is possible to install a tankless water heater in a 1995 model mobile home or trailer provided you have 12v power and gas hookups. The main thing to consider is that the tankless units are usually smaller than the tanked models. Depending on your setup you may have to modify the cutout space for your water heater to allow for a proper fit. I suggest you take a look at the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR.
