view full answer... - Will Tankless Water Heater Conserve Energy While Off-Grid Camping
- Hey 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....

- Hi Cynthia,
Thank you very much for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR. I googled the manual for the heater and its said an E5 error meant the power supply voltage was too low, which makes sense considering the power to your RV went out. So it wasn't an issue with the heater, it was that the power went out and that's why you got that error.
The manual says to press the on/off switch to restart, and wait for 15 minutes to reset. It then...

view full answer... - Is There An Anode Rod For A Suburban 6 Gallon Water Heater With A Drain Valve?
- Hello David, I can definitely point you in the right direction. I will first need a bit more info from you in order to recommend the correct anode rod for your Suburban water heater. Specifically, the model number or manufacturer part number of your water heater.
For example, if you had the Suburban SW6DEL water heater, the correct anode rod would be the Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod # CAM11563 which is aluminum, is 3/4" in diameter and measures 9-1/2" long. Feel free to post your model...
view full answer... - Will Water Pressure Damage 3-Way RV Water Heater Bypass Valve
- When you winterize your trailer you should be draining the tanks before you bypass the water heater so there wouldn't really be any pressure to damage the # 37262255. Regardless, it should hold up to any pressure in the water line.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For A Suburban SW6 DE RV Water Heater
- Hi Michael,
To replace your Suburban SW6 DE water heater you'll want the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. This tankless water heater is one of the most efficient units on the market, producing up 144 gallons of hot water per hour. The dimensions I'm seeing for your Suburban show it being roughly 12-3/4" tall by 12-3/4" wide so the # FR98SR with its 16" x 16" door would be a great fit.
During the installation you're going to want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the back...

view full answer... - Replacement Recommendation for a G6A-7 Atwood Water Heater
- Hey Cody,
Direct replacements for the older Atwood water heaters are pretty much non-existent nowadays because they were discontinued.
Because of this I recommend replacing your G6A-7 with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR which is more efficient and offers better performance than the older tank-style heaters.

view full answer... - 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.

- Hey Bruce, I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR to replace your Atwood G6A6 water heater. This water heater has a 60,000 btu rating which is quite the step up from what you have currently, is a tankless unit so it'll provide hot water on demand (whenever you need it), and will produce up to 144 gallons of hot water per hour.
You're also going to want to get some butyl tape # AL28FJ for the unit and access door mounting flanges, as well as some sealant #...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Water Heater for Atwood GC6AA-10E
- The best replacement water heater for your Atwood GC6AA-10E is the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR which needs a cutout of 12-3/4" tall x 12-3/4" wide x 19-7/8" deep to fit. Then you just need a door like the 12-3/4" # DMC58FR to complete the setup.
Since the Atwood water heaters have been discontinued there aren't very many exact replacements for them anymore, but this Dometic option is about as close as you're going to get.
