Question:

Need RV water heater to replace an Atwood XT model GE16EXt

Expert Reply:

Since the Atwood XT Model GE16EXT RV water heater is discontinued and the only other 10 gallon water heater currently available is larger in size I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater 60,000 BTU # FR98SR. It has smaller dimensions at 12-5/8L x 12-13/16W x 19-3/16D so you'll need to make slight alterations to your cutout hole to fill in the gap but the performance output of this unit will be worth the work. 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 # FR98SR 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.
