By length were you referring to height? If so, the best option for a water heater for your space is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 16" Door # FR98SR.

The Furrion # FR98SR needs a 12-3/4" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 23-1/2" deep cut out, and the door is 16-1/8" tall x 16-1/8" wide. There is no door that is the exact size you have, so you'll have to do some trimming, there is really just no way around this.

But once installed, this tankless water heater is going to be a huge upgrade, giving you on-demand hot water that saves a ton of energy because it only uses energy when you actually want hot water, instead of a traditional water heater that is constantly burning up your energy to keep the water hot.
