Description
Never run out of hot water on the road again. This Suburban DE Model water heater runs on LP gas or a 1,440-watt electric element, so you get consistent hot water whether you're boondocking off-grid or plugged into shore power at the campground.
The porcelain-lined steel tank includes a protective anode rod to fight corrosion, and every unit is pressure tested twice during manufacturing for leak-free performance you can count on. With a recovery rate of up to 6 gallons per hour and 12,000 BTU of heating power, you'll have hot water ready fast, even after a full day of dishes, showers, and cleanup.
The electric element is controlled via a switch on the unit itself, simple and straightforward. Available in 6, 10, and 12-gallon tank sizes to match your RV.
Backed by a 2-year limited warranty on parts and a 3-year limited warranty on the tank. Shop Suburban RV water heaters at Chief Camper.
