Furrion Vibrant 2.5 GPM RV Tankless Water Heater
Furrion Vibrant 2.5 GPM RV Tankless Water Heater Review
The Furrion Vibrant 2.5 GPM is Furrion's premium RV tankless water heater, positioned above the standard FWH09BL with enhanced features. 2.5 GPM peak capacity slightly above the FWH09BL's 2.4 GPM.
Specs: 62,000 BTU propane burner, 2.5 GPM peak at a 35°F rise, sealed exterior venting, 12V DC ignition control, integrated display with diagnostic codes. About $750 unit.
The Vibrant series upgrades versus the standard Furrion FWH09BL:
- Color LCD display with operational data and fault codes
- Slightly higher BTU output
- Improved modulation logic
- Better cold-weather operation (operates down to lower ambient temperatures before freeze protection activates)
Same RV-specific install constraints as other Furrion tankless: propane regulator may need upsizing (existing storage-tank regulators are sized for 8,800 BTU, the tankless requires ~7× that flow), 12V wiring adequate, plumbing connections match RV PEX system.
About $750 unit, $350-$550 install. 2-year warranty. Right buyer: full-timers and extended-stay RVers wanting premium RV tankless features beyond the basic FWH09BL. For occasional weekend campers, the standard FWH09BL is the cost-effective choice.
