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 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...
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...
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...
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.

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...
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...
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...
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...
The outlet tubes on Double RV Waste Valves # T84 are larger than those on Double RV Waste Valves # T84B.
On the T84 the 3" Hubs slide OVER your RV's black-water lines.
On the T84B the 3" Spigots slide INTO your RV's black-water lines.
I have included links to videos on each. view full answer...
The Double RV Waste Valves part # T38 has rotating valves on both the black water 3" hub outlet and the grey water 1-1/2" hub outlet whereas the Double RV Waste Valves part # TR38 only has a rotating valve on the grey water 1-1/2" hub outlet. view full answer...
The Lasalle Bristol 66N11ABPWT has an MPT-spigot whereas the # 34466N11AB has a 1-1/2" hub and spigot. There's also the color difference to help differentiate between potable and waste water. We don't currently offer potable water gate valves but you could reach out to LaSalle Bristol directly to get theirs for your RV. 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...

The important thing to look at in a regulator is the water column pressure rating or W.C. because that is how you will see propane accessories rated. Propane appliances in RVs and trailers run off of low pressure and pretty much all regulators, including # CAM59013, will reduce the pressure to an 11 inch water column rating.
A single stage regulator does it all in one stage. On a dual stage regulator the pressure is reduced twice but still down to an 11 inch W.C. If you need to replace... view full answer...
The different water pressure regulators has to do with the construction of the material (brass/stainless steel), pressure range (40-50 psi/50-55 psi etc.), and additional features such as the inclusion of a gauge or built-in bend. I am not sure exactly what two products you are referring to as we offer several from each brand but they will both work to reduce the water pressure entering the trailer. I have attached a list of options for you. The difference in price has to do with the reasons... view full answer...

The part # T68 has a 3 inch and 1-1/2 inch hub that slide OVER a water line whereas the part # T68B has a spigot of the same size that slides INTO a water line.
So the differences are basically do you need a male or a female style setup. view full answer...
So the difference is purely in how the two connect to your sewer pipe, which will also tell you which one you need; one will slide into the pipe (the spigot) while the other will slide onto the pipe (the hub):
- Slide Into Pipe: Valterra Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Spigot to 3" Lug # T50A
- Slide Onto Pipe: Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Lug # T50
To secure the valves to your pipe you would just need the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303. view full answer...
The Lippert 360 Siphon RV Vent Cap for Black Water Holding Tanks # LC389380 and # LC389381 are the exact same thing, just different colors.
If you plan on replacing your siphon vent(s) then you'll also want to use some butyl tape # AL33FJ and some self-leveling sealant # AL98KV to ensure a watertight seal. view full answer...
