CAMPLUX 6 Gallon Hybrid RV Water Heater – Propane + Electric Dual Fuel
Upgrade your RV hot-water system with the CAMPLUX 6-Gallon Hybrid RV Water Heater, designed to operate on propane gas, 120V electric power, or both together for flexible hot-water performance wherever you travel.
Delivering 12,000 BTU propane heating and 1440W electric heating, this hybrid system is ideal for RV parks with electrical hookups, off-grid camping where propane is preferred, or hybrid operation when you need faster hot-water recovery.
Designed as a replacement compatible with many Suburban and Domestic 4–6 gallon RV water heaters, it fits a standard 13\" x 13\" cutout with a 15\" x 15\" exterior door.
3 Heating Options – Propane, Electric, or Hybrid
Choose the energy source that works best for your campsite and situation.
Propane Mode: Great for boondocking and off-grid camping when shore power isn\'t available.
Electric Mode: Use 120V AC power at campgrounds and RV parks to conserve propane.
Hybrid Mode: Operates propane and electric heating together for faster recovery when hot-water demand increases.
This flexibility makes the CAMPLUX an excellent choice for weekend camping, extended road trips, and full-time RV living.
12,000 BTU Propane + 1440W Electric Heating
The dual-fuel system provides:
Propane Heating: 12,000 BTU
Electric Heating: 1440W / 120V AC
Ignition: 12V DC DSI
Use either heating source independently or combine them for additional recovery performance.
6-Gallon Tank Capacity
The traditional 6-gallon tank design stores heated water for showers, washing dishes, and other everyday RV needs.
Unlike tankless RV water heaters, this model provides a familiar tank-style system that can be an excellent option when replacing an existing 4–6 gallon RV water heater.
Compatible Replacement for Many Suburban & Domestic Units
The CAMPLUX is engineered as a direct-fit replacement compatible with many Suburban and Dometic 4–6 gallon RV water heaters.
Required Cutout: Approximately 13\" x 13\"
Exterior Door Size: Approximately 15\" x 15\"
IMPORTANT – Verify Fit Before Ordering
Don\'t determine compatibility by brand name alone.
Before purchasing, measure your existing RV water heater opening and compare your current unit\'s plumbing, propane, electrical, mounting, and ventilation requirements with the CAMPLUX specifications.
This is particularly important when replacing an existing Suburban or Domestic unit.
Convenient Interior Temperature & Mode Control
Control your hot-water system without leaving your RV.
The system allows you to switch can also adjust your preferred water temperature from inside the RV, making it convenient for changing conditions and different hot-water needs.
DSI Electronic Ignition
The Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system uses 12V DC power for convenient electronic ignition.
There\'s no need to manually light a standing pilot flame each time you need hot water.
Porcelain-Lined Steel Tank
The durable steel tank features a porcelain-lined interior designed to help resist corrosion and sediment buildup.
This protective construction is especially valuable in an RV water heater that may experience frequent travel, varying water conditions, and seasonal storage.
Replaceable Anode Rod Protection
An integrated anode rod provides an additional layer of protection for the tank.
The anode is designed to corrode sacrificially, helping protect the tank itself from corrosion and potentially extending its service life when properly inspected and maintained.
Inspect and replace the anode rod as required, according to the manufacturer\'s maintenance recommendations.
Built-In Safety Protections
The CAMPLUX incorporates multiple protective features for RV use, including:
Dry-Fire Protection
Overheat Protection
Pressure Protection
DSI Electronic Ignition
CSA Certification
Always install, operate, and maintain the water heater according to CAMPLUX instructions and applicable RV, propane, plumbing, and electrical requirements.
Easy Winterization
A built-in drain valve helps simplify draining the tank when preparing your RV for freezing temperatures or seasonal storage.
Proper winterization is essential to prevent freeze-related damage.
Standard Plumbing Connection
The unit uses a standard 1/2\" NPT plumbing connection, helping simplify integration with compatible RV plumbing systems.
