Question:
I have a 2005 Winnebago Journey motorhome. Currently I have an Atwood GCH 10A-4E water heater. If I replace it with a Furrion FWH 09A-3-C I am concern with the alignment of the exhaust port with the existing vent in the motorhome compartment door. Do you have any experience with that situation. Photos attached Thank you

Expert Reply:
I understand your concerns but do not have experience with that model, we carry the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater, # FR93FR that is a 60,000 BTU unit with measurements of 19-3/16" deep x 12-5/8" tall x 12-13/16" wide. Please compare these measurements to those of your 2005 Winnebago Journey Motorhome.
You may also want to consider the new Ventless Excel RV Tankless On-Demand Water Heater, # EX93FR. This has overall dimensions of 11-5/8" wide x 14-5/8" tall x 4-1/2" deep. While a lower rated BTU it may be an easier-/ retrofit for a tankless option.
