Furrion FWH10A 10-Gallon Gas+Electric RV Water Heater
Furrion FWH10A 10-Gallon Gas+Electric RV Water Heater Review
The Furrion FWH10A is a 10-gallon dual-energy (gas + electric) RV water heater. Furrion's storage-tank competitor to the Suburban SW10DE and Dometic GC10A-4E.
Specs: 10 gallons stored, 12,000 BTU propane burner, 1500W electric element, recovery ~17 gph propane or 6 gph electric (both modes simultaneously). 12V DC ignition control.
The 10-gallon capacity covers larger RV applications — Class A motorhomes, larger fifth wheels with 3+ occupants. Furrion's positioning as a newer RV-water-heater entrant competes on features and warranty with established Suburban and Dometic.
About $550 unit, $300-$500 installed. 2-year warranty. Service through Furrion-authorized RV dealers.
Right buyer: like-for-like replacement of existing Furrion 10-gallon RV water heater, or new install in larger RVs where 10-gallon dual-energy is specified.
- 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 10-gallon reserve — supplemental or 1–2 person use only
