I don't have any way to determine the exact model Suburban used in your 2013 Newmar Canyon Star so I'm going to have a few different door options for you but I do recommend going with the Furrion Tankless system.
Depending on the cutout hole size you currently have you'll want one of the following door sizes:
16" x 16" # FR98SR
16" x 18" # FR48SR
18" x 18" # FR68SR
Typically with Class A motorhomes you'll have a special access door that's colored the same as the motorhome. Unfortunately aftermarket options aren't going to line up correctly with the exhaust vent on the these doors so you'll be forced to switch to the standard white doors provided with the water heater.
I recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the inside edge of the mounting flanges on both the unit and door as well as some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the edge of the door for a waterproof seal.
