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.

"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."

— Terry M. (5/5)

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."
