Furrion water heaters are sold through RV dealerships, RV-aftermarket parts stores, and online RV retailers. Unlike residential brands, Furrion doesn't have a Home Depot presence — buying involves RV-specific channels.
Where to buy Furrion water heaters
RV dealerships
If your RV came with Furrion factory-installed, the original RV dealership is the warranty service contact and primary parts/replacement source. Maintaining the dealership relationship is the simplest path.
RV-aftermarket retailers
- Camping World: stocks Furrion replacement units in larger stores; can order all configurations
- Tweetys: RV-parts specialist with deep Furrion catalog
- RV Parts Country: online RV parts retailer with broad Furrion coverage
- RVUpgrades.com: specialty replacement parts and units
Online retailers
- Amazon: selected Furrion models with rapid shipping
- Furrion brand website: direct purchase available for some models
Authorized service network
Furrion maintains an authorized RV-service technician network for warranty and complex repairs. The Furrion customer service line can refer you to authorized service in your area. Most major RV-traveled areas have at least one authorized shop.
Pricing expectations
Furrion water heater pricing varies significantly by configuration:
- 6-gallon basic electric: $250–$450
- 6-gallon gas/electric combo: $400–$650
- 10-gallon gas/electric combo: $500–$800
- Tankless RV models: $400–$900
- Specialty (HWOD, hybrid): $600–$1,500
Pricing is meaningfully higher than residential units of similar capacity because of the smaller production runs and specialized features (vibration tolerance, freeze protection, propane integration).
Installation considerations
Furrion water heater installation in an RV is typically a dealer or RV-shop job. Specific considerations:
- Bypass valve system integration with RV freshwater plumbing
- Propane line connection with proper pressure regulation
- Electrical hookup (12V control, 120V or 240V elements depending on model)
- Exterior access panel sealing
- Vent termination per RV manufacturer spec
For owners doing DIY installation, the bypass-valve sequence and propane connections require RV-specific knowledge. Improper install commonly voids warranty.
Replacement timing
Furrion RV water heaters typically last 6–10 years with proper winterization. Earlier replacement may be needed for:
- Full-time RV use (consumption rate 2–3x weekend-use schedule)
- Hard-water area regular boondocking
- Failed anode rod inspection at year 4–5
- Tank weld failure (rare but happens with road-vibration history)
Compatibility considerations
When replacing a factory Furrion unit with a different model, verify:
- Same exterior dimensions (RV bay openings rarely accommodate larger units)
- Same fuel type (gas, gas/electric, electric-only) or willingness to retrofit lines
- Compatible bypass valve plumbing connections
- Matching electrical voltage
- Same vent termination location
