I wanted to go tankless on my fifth wheel. I’m a little new to owning a fifth wheel. I figured the replacement would be a close match to the original but my old tanked heater is about four inches wider. I didn’t notice any sizing options for the fogati (spelling) I purchased. Any advice?

Agreed. Too bad the OP has already bought his.

I swapped the other way, tankless to tank. You can check the manufacturer to see if they have an installation kit to fit the opening. Or you can try to coble something together but that would likely be a challenge to make it look good.

Unless you always stay at sites with full hook ups I would keep the tank.
