Question:
Hello, I have a 1994 Skyline Nomad RV. It has a Suburban SW6P hot water heater that needs to be replaced. What recommendations do you have?

Hey John, if you were wanting to stick with a standard style 6 gallon water heater the Dometic part # DMC93RR that you referenced would be a great option for something that would work well like what you are already used to.
Now if you were thinking about wanting something nicer we have the Furrion RV Tankless kit part # FR92TD which since it heats the water on demand you won't ever run out of hot water. My parents had this one in their last camper and really liked it too so I know you'd like it as well. Let me know which option you are leaning towards if you can!
