We had a customer with your same Suburban SW6DE tell us that the Furrion tankless water heater part # FR93FR that you referenced fit well in place of the Suburban so it would fit and work great.

You'd need to measure to determine what door would fit best though. We have an 18 by 18 door with part # FR73FR, a 16 by 18 door part # FR63FR, and we also have the part # FR43FR for 16 by 16 inch.
