Description
The Suburban SW10DEC Gas-Electric RV Water Heater delivers 10 gallons of dependable hot water for your RV with powerful and efficient performance. Featuring direct spark ignition (DSI) and a porcelain-lined steel tank, this unit ensures long-term reliability and corrosion resistance for life on the road.
With dual energy operation (LP gas and 120V electric), you get flexible heating options to suit any camping setup. The 1440-watt electric element and 12,000 BTU gas burner provide a fast recovery rate, meaning more hot water and fewer cool water cycles.
Engineered for durability, this model includes a copolymer insulation jacket to retain heat efficiently and a one-piece die-formed metal control housing that protects internal components from weather and damage. Perfect for RV owners upgrading or replacing an existing 10-gallon Suburban unit.
Please note: Access door and on/off switch sold separately.
