Product Features & Fitment

The SW6DEL model improves upon traditional gas/electric water heaters by incorporating an internal 12V DC control circuit relay for the 120V AC electric element. This allows you to safely turn both the LP gas burner and the electric heating element on or off directly from an indoor switch panel inside your RV without opening the exterior access door.

Built with a heavy-duty porcelain-lined steel tank and a protective anode rod, this water heater resists corrosion and stands up to demanding travel conditions. Exclusive flue tube baffles slow combustion gases to optimize heat transfer, while dual-fuel operation gives you the choice between LP gas efficiency, campsite electric power, or combined fast recovery.
