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.
For compact trailers and smaller Class B/C layouts, start with right-sized 13.5K cooling and 25K ducted heat.
13.5K rooftop cooling is the right-sized companion for smaller RV interiors. Confirm the roof opening and select the matching ducted or non-ducted ADB.
Choose AC configuration25K output and 220 CFM airflow suit smaller furnace replacements. Confirm cabinet orientation, ducts, exhaust, propane and 12V power.

Right-sized hot water for compact RVs
InstaShower 7 delivers 48,000 BTU and up to 2.5 GPM. It is designed for compact travel trailers, smaller Class B/C layouts, couples and warm-weather users who normally run one hot-water fixture at a time.
End tank recovery waits without oversizing
For a smaller RV and lighter household, the entry model can replace a limited tank without oversizing the hot-water system.
Keep showering while utilities remain available
The shower is no longer limited to a stored six-gallon volume or a 20–30 minute tank recovery cycle.
Match 48K output to lighter demand
The 2.5 GPM platform is right-sized for couples, compact trailers and one primary hot-water fixture at a time.
Cover the old exterior opening cleanly
15 × 15, 15 × 18 and 18 × 18 options support many Suburban, Atwood, Dometic, Girard and Furrion replacement layouts.
Retain core travel and safety features
The heater keeps the system simple while retaining the safety and control features expected for travel.
Right-sized continuous hot water for compact RV travel
Its 2.5 GPM platform suits couples, compact rigs and one primary fixture at a time.
The lower-flow platform aligns with smaller interiors and one-fixture use.
It replaces tank recovery limits with an efficient flow platform for lighter daily demand.
Warmer incoming water reduces the temperature rise the burner must deliver.
Match the door to the old opening
The 13 × 13-inch minimum opening pairs with 15×15, 15×18 or 18×18 exterior-door coverage.

Perfect replacement for the
"Perfect replacement for the Atwood 6gal waterheater in our 2009 Aljo. Quick and easy. The door was also a perfect fit! Hope it continues to work for a long time!"
My new fogatti water
"My new fogatti water heater is just what I needed. It was an easy install and worked right away. Looks good even on my older class C motor home. Fits the same way my old 5 gallon tank water heater did; only takes up less space. Now it only uses propane when I need hot water instead of burning the whole time I m camping."
My wife and I
"My wife and I decided on this particular product. We ordered it through Amazon and I think someone saw that the unit was something they would want to keep. The name of the product was on the package and they decided to keep it for themselves. So Amazon sent another one out for us at two day shipping. My wife and I received it last Friday. We installed it that day. The install was amazing everything fit perfectly. The door is 18" x 18" fit perfectly where the original Atwood 10 gallon came out. This product is only DC voltage; it was very easy to identify the negative and positive on the wires inlet, outlet and the propane. All of the things were well labeled. A little bit easier display on the head unit would make it much better. It might be even a great idea for the product to add like three programable modes so you can hit the temperature you like in the shower, your wife likes in the shower and washing dishes. That would be really cool. We have lived in our RV for five years and I ve not had a very nice shower until now. Keep up the great work on this product you guys nailed it."
