Features to know about

Endless Hot Water for Back-to-Back Use

Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater Installed

This Dylux RV tankless water heater delivers hot water on demand instead of using a storage tank, so the burner keeps heating water as it flows instead of relying on stored volume. It delivers 2.4 gallons per minute with 60,000 Btu input, so you can finish a shower without cutting it short and wash dishes right after without spacing them out. This setup replaces a standard tank water heater and removes the need to wait for a tank to reheat between uses. Instead of tracking who showers next or adjusting flow to make hot water last, you turn the handle and use it without thinking about the system behind the wall.

Precise Temperature Control with Low Pressure Startup

Dylux Tankless Water Heater Controller

Adjust water temperature from 95° F to 131° F with ±1° F accuracy so you aren't adjusting the handle mid-shower to keep the temperature where you want it. A child safety lock limits the maximum temperature to 113° F to help reduce scald risk. It also operates with water pressure as low as 14.5 PSI, so it works in low-pressure campground hookups.

Fits Standard RV Water Heater Openings

Dylux Tankless Water Heater Exterior Installation With Dimensions

This heater installs through the exterior wall of your RV and fits a 12-5/8" x 12-1/2" cutout. The overall size with the black door is 16-1/8" wide x 16-1/8" tall x 15-5/16" deep. Use these dimensions to confirm fit before replacing your current water heater.

Operates on 12V Power and Propane

Dylux Tankless Water Heater Power Cord

The unit runs on liquefied petroleum (LP) propane for heat and uses your RV's 12V system for ignition and controls, so it connects directly to your RV's existing propane and 12V system without needing external power. The system adjusts flame output while water is flowing to keep the set temperature instead of requiring manual changes at the faucet.

Monitors Temperature, Flame, and Freeze Conditions

Dylux Tankless Water Heater Safety Features

Built-in safety systems monitor flame, exhaust, pressure, and voltage with automatic shutdown if issues occur. Error codes help with troubleshooting. Freeze protection activates below 43° F, and the housing is designed to handle outdoor exposure and temperature changes in RV use.

See what our Experts say about this Dylux RV Water Heater

  • Can Dylux Tankless RV Water Heater Be Used In Winter? Does It Have Freeze Protection?
    Hi Eric! The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR does have auto frost protection, which activates when the temperature drops below close to freezing temps. That’s a helpful feature for chilly nights while the RV is in use. I would not treat that as a replacement for proper winterizing, though. This is still an exterior-wall RV water heater, so it’s exposed to cold air at the outside access area. If the RV is going into storage, sitting unused in freezing weather, or won’t have power...

  • Will Hot Water From Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater Last More Than A Few Minutes
    Hi Bonnie! Yes, the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR will solve that problem. As long as you have water and propane this water heater will continue to deliver hot water as long as you need it. What kind of water heater do you have now?

  • Operating Procedure For Fist Time Use On Dylux Tankless Water Heater In Camper
    Good morning Carl! Yes, there is a good startup order to follow on the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR, and I like that you’re asking before just flipping switches and hoping for the best. Before firing it up, make sure the unit is connected to 12V DC power, with the black wire to +12V DC and the white wire to ground (-12V DC). The blue wires go to the wall controller. From there, confirm your LP gas, cold water inlet, hot water outlet, and controller connections are secure. You’ll...

  • Does The New Dylux Tankless Water Heater For RVs Run On 120V Electric Or Just Propane?
    Hi Karen! The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR uses LP propane to heat the water and 12V DC power for the ignition, controls, and safety systems. It does not have a 120V electric heating element like your current gas/electric Suburban tank water heater. When converting from a gas/electric tank heater to tankless, that old 120V AC heating-element circuit would not power this unit. You’ll want to shut off water, propane, and electric before removing the old heater, then connect the...

  • Can Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater Run On Weak Water Pressure At Campground?
    Good question, Don. The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR is designed to start with water pressure as low as 14.5 PSI, and its listed operating range is 14.5 PSI to 58 PSI. This is more forgiving than some other heaters on the market. That helps if you camp at older parks where the water pressure is on the weak side. That said, tankless heaters still need steady flow to keep heating properly. If your shower already pulses when you’re running off the fresh tank, I’d check the pump,...

  • Can I Set Water Temperature On Dylux Tankless Water Heater In My Camper?
    Hi Michelle! The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR includes a wall controller, so you can set the outlet temperature between 95°F and 131°F instead of relying only on the shower handles like you would with an older tank-style heater. For the best shower experience, I’d set the heater close to the temperature you actually want at the shower. That way, you can run the hot side more steadily instead of setting the heater extra hot and then cooling it down heavily with the cold handle....

  • Upgrading A 120V Atwood Water Heater GC10A-2 To A Tankless Water Heater
    Hi Dave! We can definitely help with that. What you will need to do is wire a tankless water heater directly to your RV 12V DC battery as a 12 volt heater cannot run using 120VAC (well, it will very very briefly). This isn't too difficult and is a pretty common thing to have to do when upgrading an older unit like you have. If you are willing to do that, the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater - Propane - 60,000 Btu - Black # DY54FR would be a great option. It's the closest I could find in...

  • Minimum Water Pressure Required For The Dylux Tankless Water Heater
    Hey Ryan! The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR is actually designed to work with fairly low water pressure. It can ignite with water pressure as low as 14.5 PSI, which is lower than what you'll find at most campgrounds. Where do you typically go camping?

  • Do Tankless Water Heaters For RVs Like Dylux DY54FR Waste More Water Than Older Tank Units?
    That’s a smart question, Travis, because tankless water heaters are great for hot-water supply, but they do change the way you manage water when boondocking. The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR heats on demand, so it does not keep a tank of hot water ready. When you turn the hot water off and then back on, there can be a short delay before hot water reaches the shower again. At a campground with full hookups, that delay usually is not a big deal. When you’re dry camping, those...

  • Does Dylux Tankless Water Heater For Campers Need To Be Bypassed And Winterized?
    Good question, Rachel. Switching to the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR does change the process a bit because you no longer have a 6 or 10 gallon tank to drain. Instead, you’re protecting the internal water passages inside the tankless heater. The Dylux does have auto frost protection that activates below 43°F, but I would look at that as active protection while the RV is in use, not as a substitute for winterizing. If the RV is going into storage, sitting without propane or 12V...

  • Replacing Old 6 gallon Water Heater With New Tankless Water Heater In 2019 Forest River Salem
    Good morning Brandon! The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR may fit, but we don’t have a database that tells us the exact water heater opening on your Salem, so the best way to confirm fit is to measure the actual opening in the sidewall and the space behind it. The main heater body is sized to fit through a 12-5/8" wide x 12-1/2" tall cutout, so that’s the first number to compare to your current opening. If your old 6-gallon tank heater left a slightly larger hole, that’s usually...

  • Is There A Water Heater That Lets You Take Back To Back Showers Without Running Out Of Water In RV?
    Hey Matt, that’s exactly the kind of upgrade the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR is meant for. Since it’s tankless, it heats water as it flows instead of storing a limited 6 gallons in a tank. As long as you have propane, 12V power, and a steady water supply, you won’t be waiting for a tank to recover between showers. This Dylux is rated at 60,000 Btu with a 2.4 GPM flow rate, so it’s a good match for normal RV shower use and washing dishes afterward. I’d still avoid running multiple...

  • How Do I Shut Off The Dylux Tankless Water Heater In Travel Trailer In Between Trips?
    Hey Denise! For the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR, I would not treat the wall controller as the only shutdown point. The operating label on the heater says to shut off the gas, electrical, and water supply to the appliance when turning it off. For normal between-trip shutdown, I’d turn the heater/controller off, shut off the LP gas supply to the water heater or at the propane cylinder if you’re closing the whole RV down, and shut off the water supply or pump if the camper is...

  • Can Dylux Tankless Water Heater Fit In Cutout Of 16" by 12-1/2" From Old Atwood Heater?
    Hey Steve! The black door on the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR measures 16-1/8" wide x 16-1/8" tall, so it can cover a lot of older RV water heater openings, including many that are a little larger than the heater body itself. The main thing is that the heater body fits a 12-5/8" wide x 12-1/2" tall cutout. If your old opening is 16" wide, the body of the Dylux will be narrower than that opening, so you may need to add framing or blocking inside the cutout so the heater has a...

  • Is Water Temperature On The Dylux Tankless Water Heater Adjustable
    Hey Stephanie! Yes. The Dylux # DY54FR lets you select a water temperature between 95°F and 131°F, and the manufacturer states it maintains that setting within approximately ±1°F under normal operating conditions. That precise temperature control helps provide more consistent hot water, so you're less likely to experience the temperature swings that some older RV tankless water heaters were known for. What kind of water heater are you replacing?

  • How Does The Anti Freeze Protection Work In Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater?
    Hey there Randy! The anti-freeze protection on the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR is an automatic frost-protection feature that activates when the temperature drops below 43° F. It’s designed to help protect the water heater from freezing during cold-weather use, like when you’re camping and the temperature dips overnight. That said, it should not be treated as a replacement for proper winterizing. The heater still installs in the exterior wall of the RV, so if the camper is...

  • Does Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater Come With Door
    Hey Dale! Yes, the Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater # DY54FR does come with a black door. The door measures 16-1/8" wide x 16-1/8" tall so you can compare that to your existing opening. The required cutout for the water heater is 12-5/8" wide x 12-1/2" tall. I went ahead and attached a dimensional drawing below for your reference. What kind of water heater are you replacing?
