Furrion FWH06A 6-Gallon Gas+Electric RV Water Heater
Furrion FWH06A 6-Gallon Gas+Electric RV Water Heater Review
The Furrion FWH06A is a 6-gallon dual-energy (gas + electric) RV water heater. Furrion's storage-tank RV water heater (versus their FWH09BL tankless). 6-gallon capacity matches the standard US RV water heater size.
Specs: 6 gallons stored, 8,800 BTU propane burner, 1500W electric element, recovery rate ~11 gph propane or 6 gph electric (both modes simultaneously for fastest recovery). 12V DC ignition control.
The FWH06A competes with Suburban SW6DE and Atwood/Dometic G6A-8E in the standard RV water heater market. Direct replacement for trailers originally equipped with similar 6-gallon dual-energy units.
About $450 unit, $200-$400 installed. Parts available through Furrion-authorized RV dealers and Camping World. 2-year warranty.
Right buyer: like-for-like replacement of existing 6-gallon Furrion or compatible RV water heater. For tankless conversion (lighter, smaller footprint, endless hot water), the Furrion FWH09BL is the alternative.
- No combustion, no venting required — installs anywhere with 240V electrical access
- Below-average UEF 0.62 — modern standard models reach 0.65+, condensing 0.95+
- 2-year warranty — well below the 8–12 year category average; extended warranty advisable
- Resistance electric has slower recovery than gas at comparable capacity — schedule heavy use to match tank recovery
- Small 6-gallon reserve — supplemental or 1–2 person use only
