The best water heaters on the road today include high-recovery gas, gas-electric, and motor-aid models with sizes and features to fit the needs of nearly any RV. Heated water can damage most metals, but not porcelain, which is why these water heaters use a porcelain-lined steel tank paired with an anode rod to absorb electrolytic action, just like a home water heater. When a porcelain-lined tank is properly maintained, it can significantly extend the life of the unit and help prevent premature replacement. Each tank is pressure-tested twice during the manufacturing process to ensure strength and reliability. Fast-recovery performance means more hot water with fewer cool-water cycles. The six-gallon gas models offer a 12,000 BTUH input and a recovery rate of 10.2 gallons per hour, one of the fastest available in the industry. Insulation for this product is available, as well as a light indicator accessory.
- DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Built with a porcelain-lined steel tank, this 6-gallon RV water heater is designed for long-lasting performance, similar to the reliability of residential tank-style water heaters.
- ADVANCED CORROSION PROTECTION: A replaceable anode rod helps protect the tank from internal corrosion. This rod also serves as a drain, simplifying maintenance and extending the heater's service life.
- FLEXIBLE POWER OPTIONS: An optional electric heating element allows you to use campsite or generator power for water heating, offering added convenience and versatility.
- ENHANCED HEAT TRANSFER DESIGN: A specialized flue tube configuration slows the combustion process to maximize heat transfer efficiency, helping the water heat faster while reducing energy waste.
