About the Suburban SAW6DEL RV Water Heater

The Suburban 5322A SAW6DEL is a 6-gallon gas/electric RV water heater in the Suburban Advantage direct-fit replacement series. It is designed to replace many compatible Atwood/Dometic aluminum-tank 6-gallon gas/electric water heaters when the cutout, wall depth, plumbing, wiring, and door requirements match.

This model provides LP gas heating with 12V DC direct spark ignition and includes 120V electric heating for campground or generator-powered operation. The DEL configuration uses a 12V relay-style control setup for interior electric operation, so the correct DEL switch must be ordered separately.

The SAW6DEL is commonly used when replacing compatible 6-gallon Atwood/Dometic aluminum-tank gas/electric DSI water heaters, including many GC6AA-style models, when the cutout, wall depth, plumbing, LP gas line, wiring, and door requirements match.
