10 Gallon Suburban Advantage Tank Water Heater with Direct Spark Ignition

The 5242A Suburban SW10D is a 10‑gallon, 12,000 BTU/h LP‑gas RV water heater built on Suburban’s Advantage tank platform for long‑term durability and fast recovery. This model uses Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) for reliable, pilot‑free operation—ideal for modern RVs that require consistent hot‑water performance with minimal maintenance.

Suburban’s steel tank is porcelain‑lined and protected by a replaceable anode rod, offering superior corrosion resistance compared to aluminum‑tank designs. The SW10D fits standard 10‑gallon cutouts and provides strong recovery rates for showers, dishwashing, and daily RV use. Its efficient burner assembly delivers stable heating performance while maintaining easy access for service and OEM‑grade reliability.

This model is a direct replacement for many Suburban 10‑gallon DSI LP‑gas water heaters used across travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes.
