Camper Water Heater

Camper Water Heaters — Hot Water for Travel Trailers, Motorhomes & Camper Vans

The standard 6-gallon propane tank water heater that comes with most travel trailers is fine — until two people try to shower back to back. The second person gets cold water. That's the problem camper tankless water heaters solve: no storage tank, no recovery time, hot water as long as the propane holds.

There are two types of camper water heaters worth knowing about, and the right one depends on your rig.

Wall-mounted RV tankless units install into the exterior wall of your motorhome or travel trailer, replacing the existing water heater in the same cutout. The Camplux Elite 65,000 BTU and PRO series both deliver 2.64 GPM on propane and include a door panel for a clean exterior finish. The Elite adds a remote controller — useful for adjusting temperature from inside without going outside to the unit. Available in white and black for both lines.

Portable propane water heaters are the better choice for camper vans, tent trailers, and setups where a permanent wall installation isn't practical. The Camplux Nano 3 Pro is the most compact option — lightweight, runs on a 1lb propane canister, and sets up in under a minute. The F10 Pro and BW264 offer more flow for longer showers.

All units are CSA-certified and compatible with standard North American propane connections. Browse the full RV Appliances lineup, or go directly to RV Tankless Water Heaters or Portable Water Heaters.
