Dometic Tankless Water Heater Door Replacing Suburban 6 Gallon

Will this Dometic tankless water heater door fit the opening left by my Suburban 6 gallon water heater?

Yes. The doors in this collection are sized to cover the exterior sidewall opening left by a Suburban 6 gallon tank water heater after you convert to a Dometic tankless unit. Suburban openings can vary slightly by model year and RV manufacturer, so remove your old door and measure the opening height and width before ordering. If you are unsure, text or call 817-984-1852 with your existing Suburban model number and we will confirm fitment.

Does the door include the Dometic tankless water heater?

No. Each product in this collection is the exterior door only. The tankless water heater is sold separately. You can compare Dometic tankless and tank models in our Dometic RV water heaters collection. Before ordering, check whether the water heater kit you choose already includes a door, so you do not buy a second one.

Which Dometic tankless door do I need if my old water heater is not a Suburban 6 gallon?

The correct door depends on the size and brand of the water heater you are replacing. If you are removing an Atwood 6 gallon unit, use the Dometic tankless door for Atwood 6 gallon openings. If you are removing a Dometic 10 gallon or a Suburban 10, 12, or 16 gallon unit, use the Dometic tankless door for 10 to 16 gallon openings. Check the data plate on your old water heater for the brand and gallon capacity before choosing a door.

Why does a Suburban 6 gallon conversion need its own Dometic door?

A Dometic tankless water heater has a different footprint than a Suburban 6 gallon tank unit. The door in this collection is built to close out the Suburban 6 gallon sidewall opening and give the tankless unit the correct exterior cover and access. Installing a door sized for a different opening can leave gaps that let water and road debris into the compartment.

How does shipping work for a tankless water heater door?

Water heater doors ship by standard parcel carrier and do not require freight. Orders over $100 qualify for free shipping. If you are ordering the door together with a Dometic tankless water heater, confirm the shipping terms on the water heater product page, since larger appliances may ship differently.
