Go Tankless or Go Home

Tankless Water Heater

Say goodbye to quick, military-style showers, refilling your tank, and waiting for the hot water to recover. This revolutionary design replaces your outdated tank heater and gives you the luxury of taking back-to-back showers, washing dishes, and running a load of laundry all at once. Unlike traditional tank heaters that require constant energy to keep your water hot, this tankless, propane-fueled water heater only uses energy when you turn on your faucet or shower, providing the ultimate efficiency at a campground or off-the-grid. The endless, on-demand hot water has no recovery time and is perfect if you're on the road full-time or traveling with a large group.


Relaxing Showers without Scalding or Freezing

Vortex Pic

Has your warm and relaxing shower ever been interrupted by a cruel burst of ice-cold water? Perhaps you've been the victim of a scorching surge of hot water that scalds you and sends you dancing out of harm's way. Either way, it's the worst, but those days are over. Furrion's vortex technology is designed to eliminate those dreaded hot and cold water fluctuations by consistently mixing hot and cold water together to reach your desired temperature, ensuring those warm, comfortable showers.


Safety First

This state-of-the-art technology is equipped with built-in safety measures to ensure you, your family, and your RV stay out of harm's way.


Its dual temperature sensors automatically shut off power if the water temperature exceeds 149 F, preventing the unit from overheating while also reducing the risk of hot water scalding. The unit also has a flame monitoring feature that cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out to prevent gas from leaking inside your RV and a built-in safety valve that allows pressure to vent at 87 psi to prevent excess pressure and heat build-up.


Anti-Freeze Control Board

This tankless water heater features a control board to keep itself warm when temperatures drop. Freezing water can damage the unit, so an internal thermostat monitors water temperature and will turn the heat on automatically when it gets too cold. This feature will only work if the water heater is receiving power and gas. You will need to remember to winterize the water heater before storage over the winter.

This unit is amazing, the water become hot in few second. really quiet and easy to install. Be carefull that you have enough water pressure and flow when using with water pump. Open the hot water side and add cold water without reducing the hot side otherwize the unit may shutdown. Instead, lower the unit target temperature and add less cold water. I'm really happy with this unit. Compared to the smaller unit like the Fogatti, this one suit well for cold input water. Fogatti sell their unit showing 2.2 GPM however this is true for input water temperature around 70 deg F, here in Canada our water temperature is more around 30 deg F. I have tested this Furrion unit with a shower and two faucet and I never lack hot water. I really appreciated the fact that three door size is available. I retrofited my Atwood 6gal with this unit using the 16x18 door. Everything worked well. I painted the door and door frame to match as close as possible my RV color.

Awesome, Im still really happy with it. Works well.



by:

Water heater origninal flow sensor never worked, Furion had to ship the part and I installed. Now it's working well, so far, but I took two stars off because of the issue.



by:

We went with the Furion unit when we learned that parts were no longer available for our 20 yr. old Fleetwood. No RV repair shops will work on older models these days so I had to do the installation myself.
We are extremely happy with the quality and unlimited supply of hot water which is unheard of with traditional rv hot water tanks.



by:

Our water heater went out. Couldn't of found a better one, in my opinion. Heats up quickly. It's a great water heater.



by:

We have plenty of hot water. As we do a lot of dishes,long showers. Very happy with this product.



by:

Late arrival ups had it a local hub but delayed delivery! Cost me 3 day



by:

When I placed my order I was told there was 1 in stock and my sales rep confirmed with the warehouse that yes there’s 1.
I was notified later that delivery was going to be delayed since “the 1” was sold and we had to wait for the next shipment… it happens but it sucked.
When it arrived the box had a gouge in it. No damage to the unit. Installation was easy. Made a simple grid base to raise the new unit to the height I needed. I previously upgraded my camper with PEX, so a few new fittings and it was up and running. Since purchasing, the unit has operated flawlessly. I won’t go back to a “tank” heater.
ETRAILER.com had a good price and they did deliver in a reasonable amount of time.
Will buy Furrion and will shop etrailer.com



by:

will not buy again. lasted 2 trips. copper pipes disintegrated like they were corroded from the factory. do not recommend



by:

Great water heater! Etrailer did a fantastic job when the first unit I ordered was defective. They got a new one to me in a timely way.

After a year this has been a great water heater. It has a little delay that you have to get used to. The advantages out weigh the adjustment.



by:

It is nice to hav hot water on demand and not having to worry about running out when you are taking a shower. Don’t have to worry about a water heater tank leaking.



by:

Great help and fast delivery! Hard to beat ordering from etrailer.com! Thank you!



by:

Very good service



by:

Great product and Neil at Etrailer provided excellent service! This company always provides quality products and customer service.



by:

Of all the upgrades we have made to out fifth wheel Rv ( grand design reflection) this is by far the best. Installed this tankless water myself in just a couple of hours, in fact it took me longer to determine where I wanted to mount the controller than it took

me to install the water heater. I did have one leak after install but took care of that really easy. I would definitely recommend a tankless water heater especially the furrion. Not familiar with others but this one is excellent.



by:

Smaller than the Atwood 6 gallon that it replaced and way more hot water. Not to difficult to install.



by:

We decided to go tankless when our atwood began leaking. Installing this unit was straight forward, although I did get hung up on the swap from 110 to 12v. After looking at installation docs for the old water heater, I discovered that the propane/electric selector switch in my bathroom branched off of the 12v system, and wired directly into the control system of the old unit. The heating element was the only component actually using 110. I ended up wiring this unit into the propane selector switch. This gives me a quick way to kill power if needed. Other than this hiccup, installation was easy. It is working like charm, and we are enjoying normal shower times again.



by:

This thing works awesome!!! Heats up quickly, it's quiet...I really am happy I put this in. Install was easy!



by:

Very fast shipping got exactly what I needed and got it installed in 1 day



by:

The unit was pretty easy to install. It has worked flawlessly for us. It is a joy not to worry about running out of hot water.



by:

So glad we added this to our travel trailer! Works great! We're setup in a permanent space, so we get endless showers with this. Well worth the money spent. Thank you!



by:

Absolutely amazing! Great instructions, took about 3 hours with a few retrofits for water and gas lines. Well designed in every way and HOT water, BOOM! Love it, L



by:

Easy installation. Good instructions. Works flawlessly for me.



by:

Works great just take a few minutes longer to get hot water but I don’t run out of hot water now.



by:

Works flawlessly. Installation was a br eeze.



by:

Quick shipping and one-time. Easy set-up but be careful about freezing temps. Works great.

  • Recommended Replacement For A Suburban SW6DE Water Heater
    Hey Jarrod, The dimensions I'm seeing for the Suburban SW6DE are showing as 12.69"h x 12.69"w x 19.19"d for the body. The access door will be a bit larger so you'll want to take a quick measurement to see which new size you'll need to fully cover any gaps and make the overall finish nice looking. You'll want to go with a Furrion water heater since they're the best performance-wise and have the least amount of troubleshooting issues. The SW6DE can produce about 10 gallons of hot water per...

  • Furrion Tankless Water Heater to Replace Dometic
    Each of the Furrion tankless water heaters measure 12-5/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 19-1/4" deep, so that is the size the compartment needs to be. As for the door, there may be trimming needed, depending on the size of the door you have now and the heater you get. Generally some type of trimming is needed as the doors on different models aren't universal sizes. So you need to measure your current door size and go with the Furrion heater that has the closest dimensions. - 16" x 16" Door: Furrion...

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GC10A-4E RV Water Heater
    At this point all Atwood water heaters are discontinued and out of stock so you'd have to switch to a different option like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR. Since water heaters have gotten much smaller in size (12-5/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 19-1/4" deep) versus the GC10A-4E's 16" wide x 15-1/2" tall x 21" deep dimensions you'll have to frame in the cutout hole a bit to install a new water heater. It doesn't have to be fancy since you'll be covering it all up with the access...

  • Recommended Furrion Tankless Water Heater Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-10E
    The dimensions I can find online for a GC6AA-10E show it needing a 16" x 16" door, but there are plenty of outliers out there that can require different sized doors so it's best to measure what you current have and then find the corresponding fit. The # FR48SR comes with a 16-1/8" tall x 18-1/8" wide access door, so if your measurements are 18" wide by 14.5" tall then you'd be fine with this door. If not then you could go with the # FR68SR, which has an 18" x 18" door, to fully cover...

  • Replacement Furrion Tankless Water Heater For a Suburban Water Heater
    All of the Furrion tankless water heaters are going to use the same cutout dimensions listed below: - Between 12 3/4” - 12 13/16” wide - Between 12 5/8” - 12 3/4” tall - Min. 23 1/2” deep The difference between them is the door size, which will help to cover up any excess hole not taken up by the water heater itself. If your cutout is larger than the sizes given, you may need to add additional blocking to help support the water heater. I have listed out the different size options below. -...

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GCH10A-4E RV Water Heater
    I still recommend the Furrion water heater but you may need to choose a different door size with it to fully cover your current cutout hole. The specs I'm seeing for the Atwood GCH10A-4E show it being 16" W x 15.5" T so you could possibly get away with using the # FR98SR, which comes 16" x 16" door. I recommend double checking with your tape measure and if you feel it won't fully cover the gap or maybe the old door stuck out just a bit further and you don't want to have a wear line showing...

  • Best Tankless Water Heater for RV
    I recommend picking up the Furrion 60,000 Btu tankless water heater as this is the most popular on our site and has received numerous high ratings (it currently sits at 4.7 out of 5 stars with 189 reviews as of January 2023). This comes in a few different configurations depending on what you have/need: Water Heater Only - # FR93FR With 16" x 16" Door - # FR98SR With 16" x 18" Door - # FR48SR With 18" x 18" Door - # FR68SR Attached is a review video for you to check out!

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood G6A-8E RV Water Heater
    To replace your Atwood G6A-8E RV Water Heater I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR. Since the G6A-8E is 12-5/8" H x 16-1/4" W x 17-5/8"D you'll need a slightly wider door than a 16" x 16" to fully cover the cutout hole. Furrion's tankless water heater is one of the best on the market and out of the brands we carry is the top choice. To install this unit you'll need to nail in some 2x2's to shorten the mounting space width down to this unit's size and...

  • Will Tankless Water Heater Conserve Energy While Off-Grid Camping
    Hey Mike, that's a good question and the answer 100 percent is yes, go with a tankless water heater while off-grid camping. They use less energy and work faster so the only water and energy you use is exactly what is needed. All you need to do is find the best door size for your camper, though you'll have to make some adjustments/trimming with the cut out in order to replace your Atwood water heater there's honestly just no way around that because water heater door sizes are not universal....

  • Furrion Tankless Water Heater to Replace Atwood GC6AA-8E
    The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR does have a door that is large enough to attach in place of your Atwood GC6AA-8E that you mentioned. Instead though I would recommend going with the # FR93FR which does not have a door so you could go with the 18 by 18 inch door part # FR73FR instead as this will fill out the door opening better.

  • Recommended Tankless Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-10E RV Water Heater
    Hi Wes, All newer water heater models are transitioning to smaller sizes as the technology gets better so you'll likely have a gap regardless of which unit you choose to go with. There's typically framing around the water heater so you'll just need to add in some 2" x 2" boards to fill in the gap and give the mounting flange of the new unit something to grab onto when mounting. I've attached a video below where Jake had to do this in order to install the # FR93FR. These units come with...

This water heater only requires a 12-5/8" x 12-13/16" cutout so you will have no trouble fitting it in your larger opening.

    The Furrion water heater part # FR48SR that you referenced does not use a high voltage circuit like the Atwood water heaters used for ignition so you would need to tape up that circuit and not use it. It would be a good idea to maybe get get rid of the circuit altogether.

  • Are There Replacement Propane Regulators Available For An Atwood RV Water Heater
    Atwood was bought out years ago so replacement parts are pretty much completely non-existent at this point. You may be able to find something that will work secondhand or if you talk to a gas worker but your options are going to be pretty limited and require a bit of redneck engineering. Unfortunately as time goes on more and more manufacturers are switching to just solely tankless options so you will eventually reach a point where that is the only option.

  • Will The Furrion Tankless Water Heater Be A Good Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-10E
    The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR would be the correct choice to replace your Atwood GC6AA-10E in terms of size. The unit has a depth of 19-1/4" so you'd have about 3/4" for your water and gas hookups, so you might need to change out your fittings to ones with a 90 degree bend in order to get them in place. These units require both propane and 12v DC power in order to operate. The propane fuels the heat and the 12v powers the electronics that control the heat output. You power...
