    Great upgrade to an old RV
    I bought and installed this water heater in my 1999 Fleetwood Bounder 36S in August of 2020.So far, it's been working flawlessly. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about propane tank levels when I'm parked long term.The new water heater wasn't an exact fit/replacement for the old water heater - the new one is narrower than the old one was. I used the cover off the old water heater to blank off the larger hole, and I think it turned out great.My RV had a garbage disposal, which I removed a few years ago. I used the receptacle for the garbage disposal to power the water heater. Bonus of this setup is, there is a three position switch that was originally intended to allow switching between the garbage disposal and the microwave. The switch gives a way to shut off the electricity to the water heater, and also to ensure that the water heater and the microwave aren't on at the same time. Saves on tripped circuit breakers. (This water heater has a built in relay to allow low voltage control of the 120V power, but I bypassed the relay as I provided power from the old garbage disposal receptacle.)I bought the white outer trim for this (it's not included) and painted it to match my coach. I had bought the remote switch panel as well, but ended up wiring in the switch and lights from the old water heater to work with the new one.This wasn't a direct replacement in my case, but it still only took a day to install and get running once I made sure I had all of the necessary parts to put things together. It helped to be experienced with mechanical/electrical installation, but most people could figure this out.The instructions were adequate to complete the installation.When running on electric and gas together, you can take a nice long shower with no problem.Very happy with this purchase. 5 stars.

    Excellent product. However, the instructions for "wiring" and "use" could be better, such as if used with the remote switch (gas and electric), what about that Electrical Switch on the lower left corner of the unit outside. If you have installed the remote switch, is that outside switch supposed to be on or off? Had to go online to find the answer to that question. BTW, the answer is "on." It's a great unit and can be used with LPG or electric or BOTH at the same time which is great for heating the water faster while using - like while showering.

    We order this for or camper because the hot water heater was leaking. it literally came in the mail within' 3 days. The foam on the outside was damaged during shipping but we taped it up as it wouldn't effect the functionality at all. My husband and Dad were able to install this easily and it is working great. It has both propane gas option and electric hot water option. The model Numbers were not exact but it fill well and all we needed to install it was the sealant/ plumbers putty. Great buy I highly recommend this vendor.

    Ordered SW6DEL, heating element was bad, contacted Amazon support, they sent a replacement and the heating element was bad as well. I travel for work so I had to have the water heater installed by a highly qualified individual. Now that I am home and able to troubleshoot the water heater I find both heating element are bad. Called Suburan and they will not even speak to me because I am not a certified RV technician after I explained my profession, that I work multiple million dollar aircraft eviromental control system. Still would not talk to me. I do have to add that Amazon support was stellar and took care off me.
