⚠️ Important Fitment & Safety Note

Do not choose a replacement element by appearance alone. Match the water heater’s required wattage, voltage, thread style, tank clearance, and manufacturer specifications before ordering.

Disconnect power, relieve water pressure, and drain the water heater before replacing the element. Never energize a water heater element unless the tank is full of water, as dry-firing can damage the element.

🚐 Common RV Applications

The Camco 02103 is commonly used as a replacement screw-in heating element for compatible RV water heaters in travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, campers, toy haulers, and other RVs using a 1000W, 120V electric element.

It is a good fit when the existing element matches the same electrical rating and screw-in style, and the water heater tank has the required internal clearance.

📋 Before Ordering

Confirm your RV water heater requires a 1000W, 120V screw-in element and has a minimum 8" tank diameter.

Check the 6-1/4" element length, 1-1/4" threaded portion diameter, screw-in mounting style, gasket requirement, and water heater manufacturer specifications before ordering.

🔧 Installation Reminder

Turn off electrical power to the water heater before service. Drain the tank and relieve pressure before removing the old element.

After installation, refill the tank completely and purge air from the water system before restoring electric power to avoid dry-firing the new element.

RV Water Heater Element Fitment Checklist

Check Before Ordering Why It Matters
Wattage
This element is rated 1000 watts; using the wrong wattage can affect performance or overload the water heater circuit
Voltage
This is a 120V AC element and should only be used where the water heater calls for a 120V replacement element
Mounting Style
This is a screw-in element, so it must match the threaded opening style on the water heater
Tank Diameter
The element is intended for tanks with a minimum 8" tank diameter so the element has enough internal clearance
Element Length
The element length is listed at 6-1/4", so compare it to the original element and tank clearance
Threaded Portion
The threaded portion is listed at 1-1/4" diameter, so confirm the replacement matches the water heater opening
Gasket Seal
The included gasket helps seal the element opening; inspect the sealing surface before installation
Dry-Fire Prevention
The water heater tank must be full before powering the element, or the new element can burn out quickly

Verify wattage, voltage, mounting style, tank clearance, element length, threaded portion size, gasket sealing surface, and water heater manufacturer specifications before ordering.
