Question:

The RV that that hot water tank came out of the opening is 13 and 1/4 in by 16 and a half there's no way to cut that opening any bigger for anything larger than 13 in because the stove is directly above where the hot water tank would go in the 2006 Fleetwood Jamboree 29 V

Hey Dan,

The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR is 12-5/8" tall x 12-5/8" wide so it should fit in the opening without an issue. You'll need to install some 2" x 2" boards on the sides to eat up the gap and have something for mounting flange sides to screw into. I've attached a video below where Jake had to do this during his installation of the # FR93FR.

You'll want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the back side of the mounting flanges of the main unit as well as the access door. You'll also want a bead of non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the outside edge of the access door for a watertight seal.
