Excellent 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...

The Kat's Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater # KH15200 does not have a built-in thermostat since it is intended to be installed for a relatively brief period of time but not overnight or for extended periods the way a battery tender would be used. The dipstick heater will typically do its job in a matter of an hour or two.
It is important to note that whenever the heater is in use it must have no less than 5-inches of its rod length immersed in the engine oil. view full answer...
For starters, the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater part # KH13150 would most likely not bring the engine up to operating temperature as that is not its intended purpose. The purpose of the unit is to preheat the engine to a reasonable temperature before startup.
Unfortunately, there would be no way to give an accurate figure as to how long the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater part # KH13150 will take to warm your fluids... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Defrost Fan # KH43101 does not put out heat. It is just a "heavy duty" fan to better circulate the warm air inside of your vehicle.
If you're wanting something that will actually put out heat you could use the 12-Volt Heater and Defroster # PTW5009 or the Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater # RA3501. view full answer...
A water heater like the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR that has a DSI system will not require additional wiring for just the DSI. A DSI and non DSI water heater will have 12 volt power that goes to operate the thermostats and DSI board for those models. This particular water heater does have a 120 volt electric heating element as well as control switch for both. You would need the additional wiring for the control switches and 120 volt connection if you do not already have them. view full answer...

Many customers will install the heater and leave it on overnight, while others will plug it in for a couple of hours before starting the vehicle to warm the oil.

The Fogatti Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR maintenance section lists that you should drain the RV regularly flush the heat exchanger with an RV rated descaling solvent. They're very loose on their verbiage on "regularly" so at minimum you should do it once a season. to get the solvent through the water heater you would need to dump it into your gravity fill tank and run your water pump to pressurize the system and then run your hot water to pull it through the water heater. view full answer...

There are water heaters that you can use to replace the Atwood GC6A-7, since they are no longer in business, a direct replacement isn't available. As such, the best option I can recommend is to upgrade to a tankless heater, the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 16" Door # FR98SR. view full answer...
Yes, all RV tankless water heaters such as my preferred model, the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater, # EX93FR are designed for liquid propane (LP). They will have an electric source only for the purpose of providing ignition spark. view full answer...
Dometic water heaters like the Dometic RV Water Heater # AT96121, which is no longer available, do not have anode rods.
If your water heater is giving off a bad odor, I recommend sanitizing your entire system including your fresh water tank.
What you can do is pour some bleach in you fresh water tank at a ratio of 1/4 cup of bleach to every 15 gallons of water. Then run it trough all your faucets until you smell the bleach. You'll want to also fill your water heater with this solution.... view full answer...
The Kat's Heater Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad, Item # KH24100, does not come with a controller. It is more of a basic "plug-and-play" heating pad with no control options. The size of the pan or tank that this heater should be used on is determined by the wattage of the heater. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Vehicle Interior Heater # KH37100 includes its own internal thermostat so it would not require a line voltage thermostat. Line voltage thermostats are usually employed for larger heating devices like baseboard heaters and direct-wired electric furnaces.
My contact at Kat's said you could use a line voltage thermostat that has an AC receptacle (not a hardwired one) so that you do not void the product's warranty by cutting off its AC plug. view full answer...
Being that the Excel RV Tankless On-Demand Water Heater, # EX93FR is tankless, the need to drain that component is non-existent. However, there may still be water in the lines and valves that needs to be addressed. I suggest that you remove power to the water heater, close off the water supply inlet and disconnect the outlet water line allowing any water that may remain inside the system to drain. Use compressed air to blow out any remaining water from the lines. view full answer...
The reason is that a holding tank heater pad like the # 277-000163 you've looked at isn't designed to heat a battery. It's designed to heat a large 29-40 gallon tank, not a much smaller battery. A thermal battery heater would usually wrap around all 4 edges of the battery and gently heat it from all sides, while the tank heater isn't meant to be folded or wrapped around anything.
You'd be better off using an actual battery heater, like one of the ones I've linked for you. Using the product... view full answer...
