Do you Have a Tankless Water Heater to Replace My Suburban SW12DE in My 2015 Heartland Bighorn?
Updated 10/22/2025 | Published 04/03/2025
Question:
Vehicle is a 2015 Heartland Bighorn Fifthwheel. Original equipment water heater is a Suburban SW12DE. Is there a gas tankless 2.5 gpm model that would fit in the current opening as a direct replacement? Thank you
