Picture a chilly RV morning turned cozy with on-demand, endless hot water. GE's tankless heater fires up in seconds, transforming your shower into a warm escape and every trip into a comfy adventure on wheels.
Running out of hot water mid-shower forces you to wait for the tank to recover. This system uses a 60,000 Btu burner that responds to water flow demand and heats water as it moves through the unit instead of storing it. Showers and fixtures keep running without interruption as water heats on demand.
Switching to a tankless system often means tracking down missing parts before installation can begin. This kit includes a white access door and a wall-mounted control panel for temperature adjustment and system monitoring. The system installs with the required exterior and interior components already accounted for, allowing setup to move forward without sourcing additional parts.
Installing a tankless water heater requires compatible plumbing and gas connections. This unit connects using 1/2" NPT water inlet and outlet fittings and a 3/8" LP propane gas line. The system ties into standard RV hookups used for water heater installation, allowing water and fuel to flow through the existing setup.
Converting from a tank system depends on whether the new unit fits the existing opening. This heater fits cutout dimensions starting at 12-3/4" x 12-13/16" and mounts to the RV wall. The system installs into the same opening, allowing a tankless water heater to take the place of the previous setup.
Temperature swings can happen when water demand changes across fixtures. The built-in mixing tank regulates output by blending heated water before it reaches the outlet. Water temperature stays within the selected range during use instead of shifting between hot and cold.
RV water heating systems depend on both fuel and electrical control to operate. This unit runs on LP propane for heating and uses 12V DC power for ignition and system control. Hot water continues to operate anywhere the RV has propane supply and 12V power available.

Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here from etrailer, and today, I'm with Wirth from GE Appliances, and we're talking about RV water heaters. So just as the comfort of home, we have plenty of GE appliances. You guys also cover RV stuff, and one of that is having hot water on demand. Yeah. Making sure that you have those warm showers.
You guys offer some options as far as water heaters. What all do you have So in the tank versions, we offer dual gas electric water heaters in six and 10 gallons. They're 10,000 BTUs, so very quick recovery time. Exterior door options are black and white. These are nice, heavy-duty doors with stainless steel hinges, so they should last a long time.
And then the kit will also come with an interior toggle assembly switch for toggling off electric gas. Okay, now as far as tanked versions versus tankless, what are pros and cons of each Yeah, so tankless, one of the advantages of it is it's constant hot water all the time. They're propane, so gonna use probably more propane, but people like having that hot water on demand. So we're real excited to have that product coming. It's got some features in it.
It's got a high-altitude feature, so you can toggle that on about 5,000 feet and camp up to 10,100 feet. We did put a small mixing tank in it, so you don't get any shots of hot or cold water. Now, a six to 10 gallon, is that just, how much hot water on demand you need if you have multiple people versus just a couple or you know, a husband and wife, they could go for the six, whereas if it's a full family, maybe a 10 gallon would be the best bet. Yeah, definitely. We're seeing some people that are replacing their existing six-gallon water heaters with 10 gallons.
If they have about eight inches more depth than that cabinet, then they could upgrade to a 10 gallon from a six gallon. Okay. And then as far as you know, taking my old one out and installing a new one, what are we getting into to get this installed Yeah, so this cutout's 12-1/2 X 12-1/2. So it meets some of the other manufacturer's cutouts for six-gallon water heaters primarily. Okay. And then as far as wiring everything up, it should be just take the old one out and everything should hook up all the same That's it. It's just got a straight plug in it, plug it in, and then wiring the interior toggle switch for your gas electric and then installing your exterior door. So you mentioned that toggle switch, what exactly is that switching So you can toggle between using your electricity to heat the water or use propane. Okay. So yeah, if you're completely off grid or if you have short power, you have options. Right, yep. Awesome. So, yeah, great way. You know, hot water heater is something that, you know, may not be the first essential people think of, but when you're out camping, and you don't have a hot shower, it can really make or break the whole weekend. So if you're looking to replace or upgrade your water heater, GE Appliance has you covered, you got a few different options. So huge thanks to Wirth for taking the time to show us GE appliances' Tankless Water Heater, as well as the six and 10-gallon version. Yeah. Thanks for having me. Thank you.
