If you're replacing an old tank or tankless water heater, you'll want to pick a water heater with a door that will at least be as large as the current access door on your RV. Be sure to search for the water heater that includes the correct size you need.

Fogatti's tankless hot water heaters are popular for being efficient and quality options, but which model would be best for you? Let me give you a quick summary:
Fogatti 7: Lower Btus and lower flow rate compared to the 8s. This can be a good pick, though, because that means you're using less propane to heat water. If you aren't trying to heat very cold water, and you don't expect that anyone else is going to be using hot water while you're in the shower, then this will be a perfectly fine option, especially if you use low-flow fixtures for conserving water. I'd recommend it for solo campers or couples who almost never camp in cold months.
Fogatti 8 Plus: Higher Btus and flow rate while being the same size as the 7. You'll get slightly better performance, and it will be more effective at heating colder water. The extra flow rate won't necessarily allow you to run both a faucet and a shower at the same time without noticing a difference, since both fixtures can use 2.5 gallons per minute. But if you have a higher-flow shower head, this can keep up better. I'd recommend it if you're likely to camp when it gets chilly overnight and want a little extra performance.
Fogatti 8 Pro: This is the same as the 8 Plus, with the addition of a water mixing tank. This tank adds a few more inches to its depth, but that generally won't be much of an issue, especially if you're replacing a water heater with a tank. I'd recommend it if any variance in water temperature is going to really annoy you.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Fogatti InstaShower 7 tankless water heater with the black metal door. Now, if you're wondering about about the difference between the Fogatti 7, the 8 Plus and the 8 Pro, take a look at this product page on the lower portion of this page. We do have a brief summary of each of those heaters, and those summaries will help you decide which one's gonna work best for you. But for this Fogatti InstaShower 7, this tankless water heater is going to work great for you if you generally don't camp in colder months and don't use a lot of hot water all at once.
This 48,000 BTU heater is going to heat 2 1/2 gallons per minute, which is the average water flow of an RV shower. And our standard size black metal hinge door here, which is 15 inches wide and 15 inches tall, features this flat lock that's going to give you easy access for cleaning or maintaining your heater. Larger sizes are available when replacing a tank water heater with bigger access door. But as you can see, this is going to be very easy to open and close. Just gonna rotate this lock back and then fold it down, and then that's going to secure the door in place.
Now the efficient propane burner is going to heat water only when you use your faucets or shower. The lower BTUs are gonna conserve gas if you don't need super hot water or only camp in warm months. The pilot ignition type is automatic. And this also features this wall controller that you see right here. And this has a digital display that's going to let you adjust temperature.
It shows diagnostic error codes. And the temperature settings on this is gonna be 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. The water pressure is 14 1/2 to 116 PSI. The preferred pressure is 40 to 45 PSI. The internal safety components are going to protect you, your family, and your RV.
For instance, it's going to automatically cut off gas if the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. Looking at some overall dimensions, again, at the tallest and widest point here, it's gonna be 15 inches. And then with the door attached, the overall depth is gonna be about 14 15/16 inches deep. Let me say that again. The overall depth is gonna be 14 5/16 inches deep. Now without the door, just the heater itself, the overall depth is going to be 13 13/16 inches deep. The overall height is gonna be 13 inches tall, and then the width 13 inches wide. So that's without the door in consideration. So this is gonna be a relatively simple installation using the included hardware and existing lines and cutout. A temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation. Those are not included. And an additional cutout depth is needed to make the connections. Obviously, again, this features a black metal door, but we do also provide this in white. So if you're more interested in the white door, take that item number that you see there on your screen, pop in the search field of our website, and that will take you to the white version of this water heater. Everything else will be the same, except for the color of the door. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
