Hi Paul,
To replace the water heater on your Sunchaser travel trailer, I definitely recommend a tankless water heater. Reason why is these give you hot water immediately so you don't have to wait around for it get hot, and because they save a ton of energy.
The majority of RV water heaters nowadays are going to be tankless as they're just a better product than heaters with tanks, so it's the way to go. The most reliable option for this is from Furrion, and their heaters will fit compartments that are at least 12-3/4" wide, 12-5/8" tall, and 23-1/2" deep. You'll also want to find one that matches your door cutout as much as you can, though if there isn't one with the exact same size door, you'll have to make some modifications to resize the door. Here are the options, with the heaters all being the same size but for the door:
- Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 16" x 16" Door # FR98SR
- Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR
- Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 18" x 18" Door # FR68SR
