Recommended Replacement For An Atwood G6A-8E RV Water Heater
Question:
I have to replace my water heater Atwood G6A-8E, and thought it would be a good time to get a larger water heater. Is there a 10 gallon model that would fit the same size hole based on height and width I have extra depth

The Atwood G6A-8E water heater has 12.5" H x 16" W x 17" D dimensions and the only 10 gallon tank we currently have is the AT94022 which has 16" H x 15-1/2" W x 20-7/8" D dimensions. Since the 10 gallon tank will require you to cut out an extra 3.5" in height I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 16" Door Item # FR98SR.
It has similar dimensions at 12-5/8" H x 12-13/16" W x 19-3/16" D so you'll need to make slight alterations to your cutout hole to fill in the gap but the performance output of this unit will be worth the work. The on-demand hot water and ability to set the temperature to a specific degree instead of the old fashioned arrow knob will make camping much more enjoyable.
The # FR98SR has the following requirements to properly operate:
12VDC Power Input.
7.2-65PSI water Pressure (40-50PSI recommended). I recommend using a water pressure regulator like # CAM40064 to ensure proper water pressure.
11" WC - 14" WC (13" WC recommended). I recommend having a licensed technician check your pressure and adjust your regulator accordingly to ensure proper gas pressure.
If you have any further questions or need any assistance please feel free to reply back.
