This tankless hot water heater works great if you usually don't camp in cold months and don't use a lot of hot water at once. Heats 2.5 gallons per minute and includes a large door for replacing an 10- to 16-gallon tank water heater.

Specs:
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 seven RV tankless water heater with this white metal hinge door. Now if you're wondering what the differences are between this Instashower seven, the eight plus or the eight pro, take a look at this product page a little bit lower on this page, and we have provided for you a really great summary of each of those water heaters. You can take a look at those summaries and that's gonna help you decide which particular water heater is going to work best for your particular application. However, this Instashower seven is going to be great 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 two and a half gallons per minute, which as you know is the average water flow of an RV shower. Now this does feature a larger sized white hinge door with this flat lock that's going to give you easy access to the inside of the water heater for cleaning and maintenance. Now this door is sized for replacing a 10 or 16 gallon tank water heater with an 18 inch wide and 18 inch tall access door. Other sizes and colors of these doors are available for the Instashower seven. So on your screen, I am providing just a graph for you, showing you the options of the door sizes that we have for this Instashower seven.
As you can see, the bolded one there is the one that we're looking at. If you're interested in the black one, that's going to be the item number there below the bolded one that we're taking a look at. But those are the other sizes and colors that we do provide here for you at etrailer.com. So this efficient propane burner inside of this water heater is going to heat the water only when you need it, only when you are going to use the water through your faucets or through your shower. And the lower BTUs are gonna conserve gas if you don't need super hot water or you only camp in warm months.
The pilot ignition type is going to be automatic. And so let me go ahead and close this and I just kind of have this door set into the water heater, I don't have this installed with the hardware, but I just wanted to slide it in there, just kind of give you an idea of what this was going to look like. This does include this wall controller with the digital display that's going to let you adjust the temperature and show diagnostic error codes. This has a temperature setting from 95 degrees to 123 degrees Fahrenheit. The water pressure is 14 and a half to 116 PSI, and the preferred pressure is going to be 40 to 45 PSI.
Now the internal safety components are going to protect you, your family, and your RV. For instance, this is going to automatically cut off gas if the flame goes out to prevent leaks in your RV. So I went ahead and gave you the size of our door already, it's 18 by 18, but let me go ahead and give you the measurements of our water heater as well. The width of the water heater is gonna be right at 13 inches wide, 13 inches tall, and then the depth of our water heater, just the water heater itself is gonna be about 13 and 13/16 inches deep. If you add the door, it's gonna be about 14 and 5/16 inches deep. So this is going to be a relatively simple installation. Hardware is included for the door and the water heater for installation. You're gonna get instructions . This is obviously gonna use your existing lines and cutout. I do wanna point out that a temperature and pressure relief valve are required for installation. It's not included with this. And an additional cutout depth is gonna be needed to make your connections. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our brief look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
