Quick answers

Is 2.5 GPM enough for my RV?
It suits lighter hot-water demand; incoming water temperature and shower flow affect the result.

Can it replace a 10- or 12-gallon tank heater?
The 18 × 18-inch door option supports many larger former tank openings; match it to the actual cutout and trim coverage.

Does it include freeze protection?
Yes, but the RV plumbing still needs proper winterization when temperatures fall below freezing.

QUICK ANSWERS

Why InstaShower 7 fits compact RV demand

These answers cover household size, cold incoming water, door fit and when to choose 8 Plus instead.

Is 2.5 GPM enough for an RV shower?

Up to 2.5 GPM aligns with many RV showers; delivered flow varies with inlet temperature, pressure and showerhead flow.

Can I use the shower and sink at the same time?

Its up-to-2.5 GPM output is designed for one primary fixture at a time; choose 8 Plus for regular simultaneous demand.

Can it replace a 6- or 10-gallon tank heater?

The heater uses a 13 × 13-inch minimum opening, with different door sizes available to cover common exterior openings.

Does it work in colder weather?

It supports cold-weather travel, while 8 Plus or 9 Pro adds recovery margin for colder incoming water.

Who should choose 8 Plus instead?

Choose 8 Plus for a mid-size RV, regular family showers and added flow margin from its 2.9 GPM platform.

Reviews

I received the unit

"I received the unit a few days after ordering it. This unit is replacing an existing tankless water heater in my Scamp 13. I plan on doing some high altitude camping and wanted a WH that was rated for it. I installed it yesterday. Vary easy to install. Basically just switched them out as the one I replaced has the same dimensions and hook ups. Fired it up this morning and it worked like a charm! I haven't tested it camping yet, but I don't foresee any problems. It's a well made product that's reasonably priced!"

I have zero complaints

"I have zero complaints about this water heater. Fairly easy to install and works like a charm. Taking a 30 minute shower and never losing hot water was absolutely amazing. Now, I ordered this product on amazon first and it showed up late and damaged. I returned it and ordered it directly from the fogatti website. Was late again but was in good condition. That's on FedEx. Other than the shipping problems this water heater is amazing. As long as you have propane you have hot water and I absolutely love it."
