Recommended 6 Gallon Tanked Water Heater for Use at 10,000' Elevation

No, it does not Chad but I've got another option. The Fogatti InstaShower 7 Tankless Water Heater item # FG37FR is only rated for up to 9,800' of elevation. You're going to run into ignition failure, combustion errors, and reduced heating efficiency due to lower oxygen levels that height. You heard right because this is a common issue with propane powered tankless water heaters.

As an alternative, I recommend the Fogatti HybridShower RV Water Heater item # FG35VR. This is a 6-gallon tanked water heater that is powered off of propane or 120V AC power. When you're at 10,000' or higher elevation you can power the water heater with AC power. It's designed to fit a 13" x 13" opening.

We also have one that comes with a 15" x 15" door, it's the Fogatti HybridShower RV Water Heater item # FG74ZR.

What kind of RV do you have and where are you planning on camping at 10,000'?
