Enjoy endless hot water with the Suburban Nautilus On-Demand RV Water Heater. Say good-bye to waiting for water to reheat in a conventional tank. Showers and baths are best enjoyed slowly, so live free from the restraints of limited hot water supplies. Dishes and even the laundry can be done with an infinite supply of hot water whenever and wherever, simultaneously from every fixture.

Weighing just 36 lbs. with the vent assembly, the Nautilus On-Demand RV Water Heater comes standard with a freeze protection mechanism and state-of-the-art 3-Try Direct Spark Ignition for safe and reliable operation.
