Question:

I have an older trailer with the dimensions 17inch wide by 13.5inch high. Do you have a unit that would fit that dimension?

We do not have an option that is going to completely fill in the gap but we do carry options that come with doors that can cover the gap left by the new unit. I recommend replacing it with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater 60,000 BTU # FR48SR. Its dimensions are 12-5/8" L x 12-13/16" W x 19-3/16" D and it comes with an access door measuring 16-1/8" T x 18-1/8" W. The on-demand hot water and ability to set the temperature to a specific degree instead of the old fashioned arrow knob will make camping much more enjoyable.

The # FR48SR has the following requirements to properly operate:

12VDC Power Input.

7.2-65PSI water Pressure (40-50PSI recommended). I recommend using a water pressure regulator like # CAM40064 to ensure proper water pressure.

11" WC - 14" WC (13" WC recommended). I recommend having a licensed technician check your pressure and adjust your regulator accordingly to ensure proper gas pressure.
