Tankless is definitely the route to go for a replacement water heater. This allows you to have hot water on demand and the RV industry is moving in this direction.
If you use the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR (38,00 Btu), then there is no need to run any electric. This water heater gets its power from 2 D-batteries.
If you went with either the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR (60,000 Btu) or the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR (41,800 Btu), (needs the # CAM10423... view full answer...
The Camco Olympian Wave 3 Catalytic Safety Heater for Small RVs # CAM57331 can heat a larger area (120 square feet) compared to the Little Buddy Heater which claims 95 square feet, has a built in automatic Piezo-electric spark starter which will last for 20K starts, and can be adjusted from 1,300 to 3,000 BTUs.
This unit is also smaller measuring 10-1/4" long x 3-1/2" wide x 11-3/4" tall and weighs 9-lbs, compared to the Buddy Heater which measures 12" long x 9-3/4" wide and weighs 12-lbs. view full answer...
Though your heater unit has a built-in regulator, it is only capable of handling a very narrow flow rate range. For this reason, it's best to not consider an appliance's built-regulator as a replacement for the second stage for a two-stage regulator.
I recommend going with a two-stage regulator as they are going to ensure that the flow rate going to your appliances is a constant 11" water column pressure.
The regulator that you referenced, part # CAM59013, is a single-stage and best used... view full answer...
The Valterra Universal Threaded Drain Valve # 3723175 is designed for applications of RV plumbing like what you mentioned. While it doesn't have an expressed temperature rating it was designed for plumbing where a water heater is involved and the normal temperatures it would create. view full answer...
According to my contact at Five Star manufacturing, the parent company of Kat's Heaters, the primary difference between the # KH24025 and # KH26025 is the way the heating element is ran in the pad itself. On the # KH24025, the wire used for the heating element is ran in a loop, while the element used in the
# KH26025 is arranged in a serpentine fashion.
My contact tells me that the # KH26025 would deliver a more even heat to the transmission or oil pan, which is why I'd recommend going... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of the Atwood Gas and Electric 10-Gallon Water Heater # AT94186 to replace your RV's failed unit.
In most RV applications an electric power source will tend to be more consistent than a gas source and so for that reason Atwood's technician told me that in typical use electric power delivers faster heating of the water. This is not a rule so much as simply the typical behavior of these devices.
RV gas pressure can change quite a bit from when a tank is full... view full answer...
Yes, the only difference is that the # FR98SR comes with the 16" door. With the # FR93FR you can select one of three doors: small 16" X 16" # FR43FR, medium 16" X 18" # FR63FR, and large 18" X 18" # FR73FR.
This will be of benefit to users who need a different door size.
I would use Alpha # AL33FJ butyl tape to seal the edges from the heater to the outside wall. view full answer...
We have what you are looking for for your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe.
If you have a 2.4L I4 or a 2.7L V6 engine, then you can use the Kat's Heaters Ether Start Fluid Injection System, part # KH33210. If you have a 3.3L V6 engine, then you can use part # KH33220.
For both of these, you only need to start your engine to inject ether fuel (not included) into your intake manifold. They connect directly to the battery. The thermostat ensures fluid is only dispensed when needed. view full answer...
The difference is the size of the threads. The Camco RV Water Heater Temperature # CAM10423 has 1/2 inch diameter valve size and the # CAM10473 has 3/4 inch diameter valve size. view full answer...
Both the Bargman Trailer Tail Light # 30-92-004 and the Valterra Heating and A/C Vent Register # A10-3352VP you referenced will not have the etrailer sticker on them. The sticker is only used in our pictures and videos.
I included videos for both the Bargman # 30-92-004 and Valterra # A10-3352VP for you to take a look at. view full answer...
You are correct in that the Camco Seasonal Bypass Kit, part # CAM35713, has a hose shorter than 12 inches; it is in fact 8 inches from fitting to fitting.
For a longer hose, I recommend the Valterra Dual Valve Bypass Kit, part # P23504LFVP. It has a hose length of 12-7/8", so it will fit your application. An added benefit of this kit is the valve system: it makes the kit a permanent installation that you can adjust for winter, eliminating the need to uninstall it once spring comes.

The difference between the Camco Propane Fitting - 200,000 Btu/hr - Green # CAM59923 and the Camco Propane Fitting - 70,000 Btu/hr - Black # CAM59933 is the Btu/hr rating. Based on my research, the Btu/hr needed is determined by the component(s) using the propane, such as a stove, oven, or water heater.
With your smaller pop-up camper, I think you should be fine to use the #CAM59933 rated at 70,000 Btu/hr. You will want to double check the Btu ratings on you trailer's appliances that... view full answer...
I spoke with Furrion to double-check on this for you.
You are correct in that the element inside the Furrion Over the Range RV Convection Microwave, part # FMCM17SS, acts as a broiler. It's an exposed element that can be used to grill food like a broiler does.
Of course, this has reasonable limitations. As for steak, you can get away with very thin slices or pieces on a kebab, for example, but a full sirloin would be too thick to be able to cook through.
All in all, this won't replace... view full answer...
