RV Tankless Water Heater Propane 55,000 BTU

This tankless propane water heater for RVs delivers on-demand hot water with a compact 15 x 15 inch door and a 13 x 13 inch opening, making it a direct replacement for many factory units while reducing propane use according to the manufacturer. It produces up to 55,000 BTU and about 3.9 GPM, so you can run showers and sink use without waiting for a tank to reheat.

Key Points

The unit includes a smart remote control with an operating range of up to 6.6 feet, allowing temperature adjustments from outside the coach. The microcomputer control provides staged combustion to keep water temperatures stable between 95°F and 124°F, and the system claims up to 40 percent propane savings compared to conventional RV water heaters according to the manufacturer. The heater reaches 124°F in about 25 seconds, which helps reduce wait time for hot water during trips. Two useful safety notes are that it requires proper ventilation and a 12 V DC power connection, and it is CSA certified with multiple protections including overheat and anti-scald functions.

Usage Recommendations

Install the heater where there is adequate ventilation and a proper exhaust route, following the provided guide carefully. The water inlet and outlet use 1/2" NPT fittings and the gas inlet uses 1/2" NPT with a 5/8" adapter, so confirm compatibility with your RV plumbing before beginning work. Because this model uses a high-performance fan and staged combustion, it maintains function at higher elevations, but consider local altitude effects on combustion and pilot performance when camping in mountainous areas.

Positive Aspects

The on-demand design removes the need for a storage tank and helps conserve space in tight RV compartments. The combination of quick warm-up time and electronic temperature control offers a balance of convenience and consistent output. The included safety features such as dry burn protection and flame failure protection increase reliability on the road. Consider that according to the manufacturer, the stated propane savings and performance metrics are measured under controlled conditions and real-world results may vary.
