Review on Suburban Manufacturing 5243ASW10DE 10-G Direct Spark Electric Heating Element by Jeremy Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Identical replacement.

Exact replacement for a 15 year old that was leaking. Don't forget to replace the anode annually, this practice will save you a hefty bill. However, Amazon saves you half the cost of buying this unit at a motorhome store. Everyone I called to get a replacement charged over $800 and also wanted to charge for shipping. It was like getting one from Revain, doubling the price, and then charging me for shipping. I wonder if they will survive. In any case, this is very good water heating and a spare socket. Why can't you control the temperature? Keeps the water too hot for me and there is no way to adjust it. But it heats the water and doesn't leak, so I'm fine. Would recommend to anyone who needs to replace their block.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging
