Orbek RV Tankless Propane Water Heater 60,000 BTU — 12V DC, Frost Protection & Smart Remote

The ORBEK RV tankless propane water heater delivers on-demand hot water for RV showers, sinks, and dishes without a storage tank and runs on 12V DC.

Designed specifically for recreational vehicles and campers, this compact tankless unit uses a 60,000 BTU propane burner and a 12V DC power input to heat water only when you need it. It replaces bulky tank systems, fits common RV cutouts, and adds safety features like frost protection and automatic gas shut-off. The unit includes a built-in pressure-reducing valve and a smart remote for simple temperature control, making it practical for mobile living and seasonal travel.

How does this unit supply continuous hot water without a tank?

The ORBEK heats incoming cold water instantly with a 60,000 BTU propane burner and an efficient heat exchanger, so hot water is produced only when a tap or shower is opened. This removes the need to store heated water, saving space and reducing standby energy loss.

• Instantaneous heating with staged combustion technology
• No hot-water storage or anode rod maintenance
• Heats on demand to extend propane efficiency

Will it work at high altitudes and in cold weather?

Yes — the heater is built for elevated locations and colder conditions. Oxygen-free copper heat exchangers plus a brushless DC fan and staged combustion help maintain stable performance at high altitudes, while integrated frost protection guards against cold-weather damage.

• High-altitude compatibility via staged combustion
• Brushless DC fan for reliable airflow at elevation
• Frost protection to prevent freeze-related failures

How easy is installation and what connections are required?

Installation is straightforward for many RV owners: the unit uses 12V DC power, standard NPT water fittings, and connects to the RV propane system. It fits common RV cutout sizes and includes mounting hardware and clear instructions, letting experienced DIYers complete the swap without specialty tools.

• 12V DC electrical supply and standard NPT water connections
• Compatible with 15"×15", 15"×18", and 18"×18" openings (confirm measurements)
• Includes mounting hardware and professional service support if needed

What controls and safety features are included?

The ORBEK unit includes a built-in 150 PSI pressure-reducing valve and a smart remote to set temperatures between 95°F and 123°F. Safety systems include CSA certification, an automatic gas shut-off for flame failure, an exhaust fan for controlled combustion, and error-code display for troubleshooting.

• Integrated pressure-reducing valve saves extra purchases
• Smart remote control with temperature display and error codes
• Multiple protections: gas shut-off, forced-draft exhaust, CSA certification

Who this is for: The ORBEK RV tankless water heater is aimed at RV owners, full-time campers, and families who want reliable, space-saving hot water while traveling. It suits those replacing older tank units, upgrading to on-demand heating for better propane efficiency, or preparing an RV for year-round use in varied climates.
