Replacement Water Heater For Leaking Atwood GC10A-4E Water Heater

Question

Question:

I have a 2005 Fleetwood Expedition with Atwood water heater. I have a small leak on bedroom floor coming from area where water heater is located. Do I need to replace entire water heater? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I know it's not ideal, but it sounds like the tank is leaking and that isn't something that is offered as a replacement part, so your only option would be a replacement unit.

If you're just wanting to replace your unit with virtually the same unit, you can use the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot # LSB44FR for black or # LSB64FR for white.

This is similar to the water heater that you have now with a 41,800 Btu heating capacity, cut out dimensions of 13" wide x 13" tall x 17-3/4" deep, and a temperature range of 95°F to 123°F (35°C to 50°C).

I have also included a review video for you to check out as well.
