Description / Suburban SW10DE 10 Gallon Direct Spark/Electric Water Heater

Water cold in your RV? Is it time to upgrade water heaters because your hot water tank isn’t putting out enough hot water for you and your family while at the campsite? Suburban® makes a 10 gallon water heater with an electric ignition that gives you all the hot water you need for showers and dishes at an affordable price!

If you want a water heater that relies on LP Gas and electricity with an easy to activate electric ignition, then this is the tank for you. The Suburban® Direct Spark/Electric 10 Gallon Water Heater has a direct spark “on” switch that when combined with the optional remote wall plate turns on the water heater wherever you install the switch (remote switch sold separately).

Love dry camping far away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Or is your place to be at the campgrounds with all of the wonderful hook-ups? This Suburban® 10 Gallon Water Heater runs on LP Gas and Electricity so you can camp wherever you like as your water heater heats up your hot water.

The best water heaters on the road today, Suburban®'s line of durable, porcelain-lined steel tank water heaters includes FAST RECOVERY with sizes and features to match the requirements of almost any RV.

All Suburban® Advantage™ RV Water Heater Tanks Feature:
- Convenient exterior gas line connection
- One-piece, die-formed metal control housing that protects controls from the weather
- Copolymer insulation jacket specially formed to fit the tank for additional heat retention
- Anode Rod Protection
- Porcelain Lined Steel Tank

The limit switch, reset button and on/off electric element rocker switch (if applicable) are conveniently located in a housing behind the removable outer door. The electric heat element and drain plug/anode rod are also located there. For convenience of installation, rough-in openings for Suburban® water heaters are small and less likely to interfere with RV exterior design.

When a Suburban® Advantage™ porcelain-lined tank is properly maintained, tank life may double or triple its three-year limited warranty saving owners the cost of premature replacement. In addition, every Suburban® Advantage™ tank is pressure tested twice during the manufacturing process to ensure its integrity.

ALL SUBURBAN® GAS APPLIANCES MUST BE INSTALLED AND/OR SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

For all of your RV Parts needs Dyers has the replacement parts. You need a new water heater valve or anode rods? Maybe you need a brand new water heater? We have all shapes and sizes at your RV online superstore right here, at Dyers!

Just what I was looking for
Review by DLO12
First fime using a suburban product. It seems to be of higher quality than the atwood products and heats up faster than my 6 gallon did. Its definitely alot quieter. For those changing out an atwood water heater you will notice that this model does not have the same amount of wires to use the electric heat mode and is controlled directly by switch on the water heater itself. This is not a huge issue and when I have the time I intend on bypassing that switch on the unit and wiring it to the inside switch. I wanted a higher capacity water heater since I fulltime and this is the largest unit that would fit in my space. It has bin installed and used daily for about 2 months straight without any issues. All in all this is a great water heater and I will definitely be using suburban next time I need a water heater.

Packing for shipping could have been better!
Review by Bonnie
Water heater is great and works well! Installation was not a problem. Problem was when it was packed for shipping the frame was not protected properly and got bent right where we had to put our cover on. My husband had to straighten it out enough so we could screw the outside cover on. Did not request replacement because it did not affect the heating of our water and we had been without hot water for over 2 weeks waiting for arrival. Please pack better in future.

Review by dc in sc
I was grateful to find such an affordable, emergency replacement for the original Suburban SW10DE hot water heater! It was shipped immediately and I received it in just two days.
The item works great so far, even though some damage to the outside metal frame/casing was done (I'm assuming during shipment by UPS). Although, I noticed it was packaged upside down in the box--not sure if that is why it got dented? But with the dented frame that sits facing the outside of the rig, it still fits just fine. it's hidden by the original door cover anyway (which does not come with the new heater), so the dents are unnoticed, and I'm not picky to have another one shipped since it still works and I use it everyday.

Good water heater, excellent service.
Review by Pablo
I was doing a direct replacement, and had just bought the RV with the understanding that the heater was leaking. The changeout was easy, but I found out that the leak was actully the shower drain leaking directly behind the water heater. The old heater was 13 years old, and was not leaking. I changed it out anyway, and love the fact that it ignites itself, and has electric back-up. No more pilots after changing the propane tanks. The heater recovers well, and gives a decent shower time depending on how much cold water you add to the mix during showering. It's not quite enough for my wife who likes to wash her hair, condition her hair, and shave in the shower. Sorry ladies. Anyway, I ordered the heater late in the day, and it showed up the next day. Not sure how, but that was really cool.

Review by Red
After 10 years of full time RV life, what can happen has happened. Finding parts and a dependable service is so very important. When our hot water heater took a dump, it was so easy to find what we needed as soon as possible.Fair pricing and delivery that parallels a land speed record, I mean FAST! I will recommend Dryer's to anyone out there that is having a problem, no mater where you are. As far as product quality goes, I received a absolute clone of the water heater installed in my rig, Super Service!

Your price was $185.00 cheaper than my best price. It arrived in perfect shape in 4 days. I had it installed the next day.
Review by Woodchuck
I checked several local RV suppliers and their prices were well above your price. The item sent was a direct replacement to the one that I had. It was an easy swap as all of the instalation parts were there.
