Description

The Suburban SW10D 10-Gallon RV Propane Water Heater (MPN: 5242A) is a brand new, gas-only water heater with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI), engineered for dependable hot water in RVs, motorhomes, and mobile living applications.

This model uses a durable porcelain-lined steel tank designed to perform like a residential water heater and is protected by a replaceable anode rod, which both reduces corrosion and serves as a convenient drain. Suburban’s exclusive flue tube design slows combustion to maximize heat transfer into the water, improving heating efficiency.

The Direct Spark Ignition system eliminates the pilot light, delivering quick, automatic ignition when hot water is needed. A repositionable module board allows greater flexibility during installation.
