About the Suburban ST-60 On-Demand RV Water Heater

The Suburban 5482A ST-60 is a tankless on-demand RV water heater designed to deliver hot water only when a fixture is opened. Instead of storing hot water in a tank, the ST-60 uses a high-output LP gas burner to heat water as it flows through the unit.

The ST-60 is sized to fit many existing standard 6-gallon water heater sidewall cutouts, making it a popular aftermarket replacement option for RV owners upgrading from a traditional tank-style heater to a tankless system. The included wall-mount digital control center allows temperature adjustment from inside the RV.

🔥 60,000 BTU LP Gas

High-output propane burner provides tankless hot water performance for RV use

💧 Tankless Operation

Heats water on demand without maintaining a storage tank of hot water

📟 Digital Control Included

Wall-mount digital control center is included for interior temperature adjustment

🛠️ 6-Gallon Replacement Size

Sized to fit many existing standard 6-gallon water heater sidewall openings

📦 What's Included

• One Suburban 5482A ST-60 on-demand LP gas RV water heater
• Wall-mount digital control center

📋 Required / Sold Separately

Exterior access door options for ST-42/ST-60 on-demand water heaters:
• 6285APW — White access door
• 6285AEB — Black access door

Confirm door color and fitment before ordering. Existing tank-style water heater doors generally do not carry over to the ST-60 installation.

⚠️ Verify Tankless Replacement Requirements

Tankless water heaters operate differently than tank-style models and require proper water flow, LP gas supply, 12V wiring, venting, exterior sealing, and controller installation.

Verify the existing water heater opening, sidewall cutout, wall depth, plumbing alignment, LP gas pressure, wiring, access door, and installation clearances before ordering. Installation should be performed by a qualified RV technician.
