When using the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR, there is not a door conversation kit. There are just 3 different door sizes to choose from.

- Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR43FR (16" x 16")
- Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR63FR (16" x 18")
- Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR73FR (18" x 18")

It looks like your current Atwood GC6AA-10E requires a 12-5/8" tall and 16-1/4" wide cut-out. That would make the Replacement Access Door for Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR63FR (16" tall x 18" wide) the best fit.
