Yes, the Excel RV Tankless On-Demand Water Heater # EX93FR can be installed in a 2008 Winnebago Journey 39Z. The fittings and connections may not be the same, so worse case scenario you might need some simple adapters you can obtain locally. The dimensions are likely different as well with the tankless heater measuring 11-5/8" wide x 14-5/8" tall x 4-1/2" deep.

It is also important to note that installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
