a porcelain steel tank, foam insulation, and a replaceable anode rod,
it ensures durability. Notably, it incorporates a 12 Volt Relay for

access door and frame is straightforward. Additionally, the SW10DEL Model

its 1440-watt Incoloy electric element, achieving a recovery rate of 6.1
gallons per hour. For faster recovery at 16.2 gallons per hour, users
can simultaneously use both gas and electric. The gas ignition switch,
available separately, allows convenient control from within the RV. It's
important to note that gas appliances should be installed and serviced
by qualified technicians. During manufacturing, the water heater tank
undergoes pressure testing twice to ensure its integrity, employing a
