Furrion Water Heaters

Furrion is the newer entrant to the US RV water heater market, gaining share through OEM placement on newer travel trailers and motorhomes. Furrion is the Lippert-owned RV systems brand (Lippert acquired Furrion in 2020), competing with the established Dometic and Suburban brands through tankless innovation and modern aesthetics.

The Furrion RV water heater lineup

• Vibrant Tankless — on-demand tankless RV water heaters. 2.5 GPM Standard, 3.0 GPM Premium. Endless hot water without tank-related freeze concerns
• FWH Tank Series — traditional 6 and 10-gallon RV tanks. FWH06A, FWH10A

Furrion vs Dometic / Suburban

Furrion is the newer entrant. Pros and cons vs the established brands:

Which Furrion is right?

1. Travel trailer, modern aesthetic, tankless preferred: Vibrant 2.5 GPM
2. Class A / fifth-wheel with simultaneous demand: Vibrant 3.0 GPM Premium
3. Like-for-like Furrion-OEM tank replacement: FWH06A or FWH10A
4. Traditional tank preferred + Furrion brand consistency: FWH series

Install notes

• Furrion uses Furrion-specific cutout dimensions — verify against your RV before ordering
• Vibrant tankless requires a sidewall mount with PVC-equivalent RV venting
• Standard LP gas connections, 12V DC for controls
• Like-for-like Furrion replacement is the easiest path; cross-brand (Furrion to Dometic) typically requires modification

Warranty

• 2-year unit warranty (Vibrant and FWH)
• 1-year parts
• Labor not covered

Where to buy Furrion

Furrion sells through:

• Lippert dealer network (Furrion\'s parent)
• Camping World, RV dealers
• Amazon (Vibrant and FWH common online)
• furrion.com — direct + dealer locator

Bottom line

Furrion is the newer choice with strong tankless offerings (Vibrant) and modern aesthetics. Established Dometic/Suburban have wider parts ecosystem and technician familiarity. For Furrion-OEM RVs, replace with Furrion. For other RVs, the established brands are typically the safer choice unless you specifically want tankless and Suburban Nautilus doesn\'t fit.
