The Suburban 5320A SAW6D is a 6-gallon LP gas RV water heater in the Suburban Advantage direct-fit replacement series. It is designed to replace many competitive aluminum tank water heaters without major sidewall, cabinet, or plumbing modifications when the existing installation matches the required dimensions.
This gas-only model uses 12V DC direct spark ignition, allowing the burner to be controlled from an interior-mounted switch when properly installed. The porcelain-lined steel tank and replaceable anode rod help provide long service life compared with aluminum tank designs.
