Question:

We need to replace the hot water heater in our 1994 Prowler camper. We would like to go tankless. Is this an option for us?

Most RV water heaters were quite a bit larger than the newer tankless models so you'll be able to swap out your current unit but will likely have to make some modifications to mount the smaller unit in place and cover the gap. The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR would be a compatible replacement option, but I've dealt with too many issues to with this unit to really recommend it to anyone.

Instead I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. This is also going to have a smaller unit size but comes with a 16" x 16" door, 16" x 18" door # FR48SR, or 18" x 18" door # FR68SR in order to cover the gap. You'll likely need to frame in the space with some boards for the unit to mount to and some plywood to cover the gap. When mounting the unit to the framing you'll want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the rear side of the mounting flange. You'll want to do the same to the mounting flange for the access door and then use some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the outer edge of the door to prevent any water from leaking in.
