Is Dometic 6-Gallon RV Water Heater DMC74FR Best Option For Tanked Water Heater
Question:
Is the Atwood/Dometic 6 gallon water heater still the best RV tanked water heater around? I want to get rid of my Girard Tankless and go back to the old standard.

Yes it is; for a 6-gallon tanked RV water heater, there isn't a better option than the Dometic:
- Dometic RV Water Heater - Gas and Electric # DMC74FR
At 10,000 Btus, this water heater has a higher heating capacity than other units for better overall efficiency, and it is a gas and electric unit that an automatic pilot as opposed to a manual pilot, making it the most convenient option.
The only other thing to keep in mind is the cut out that the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR fits, which is one that is at least 12-3/4" tall x 12-3/4" wide x 19-7/8" deep.
