The Atwood RV Water Heater - Gas and Electric - Automatic Pilot - 120 Volt - 10,000 Btu - 6 Gal Tank # DMC74FR is out of stock currently so I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 16" Door Item # FR98SR.

It has 19-3/16" deep x 12-5/8" tall x 12-13/16" wide dimensions and comes with a 16" x 16" door but larger ones can be ordered if needed to cover your cutout. The # FR98SR will produce 19+ gallons of hot water per hour while the # DMC74FR will only produce 12 gallons. It comes with a heating capacity of 13,000-60,000 BTU's to provide you with on hot water on demand. It has a Vortex system that mixes hot and cold water to eliminate fluctuations and reduce the risk of hot water scalding and dual temperature sensors automatically shut power off if the water temperature exceeds a safe limit. You'll be much happier with a tankless water heater and experience less technical issues like you would with a regular tank water heater.
