The switch for your old water heater simply interrupts the power running to the unit. If you connect your new Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR to that same switch then it will also control the power flowing to the unit and allow you to control whether it's on or off. view full answer...
To replace your Atwood G6A-8E you will want the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater item # FR68SR. There is no direct replacement available for a Atwood G6A-8E RV Water Heater. This will allow you to not only replace your current water heater, without modifying its enclosure, but it will also provide you with an endless supply of hot water which is a big improvement over the 6 gallons you have now. view full answer...
While we have an option for you, the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR is not designed to work in temperatures below freezing. But what you can use is one from Fogatti:

You should only need the Valterra Check Valve for RV Fresh Water Systems # P23415LFVP at the cold inlet of your water heater.

We do not have a video on our website, but I'd be more than glad to walk you through it. It's just three simple steps:
Step 1. Turn off your water heater, LP gas and water pump. If you are connected to the city water supply, disconnect that as well.
Step 2. Run the hot water inside the RV until the water turns cold. This is to make sure the water heater is at a safe working temperature. Then go outside your RV and open the panel to the water heater.
Step 3. Open the pressure valve on... view full answer...
Correct, there are two water heater sizes available. The six gallon water heaters like the Atwood RV Water Heater part # AT96110 which are roughly 12-1/2" tall x 16" wide x 18" deep and ten gallon water heaters like the Atwood RV Water Heater part # AT94180 which are roughly 17-3/4" tall x 18" wide x 20-7/8" deep. That said, you will need space behind the unit in order to connect your gas lines and wires etc. so make sure to take this into consideration when choosing the best option. It... view full answer...
The Excel RV Tankless On-Demand Water Heater part # EX93FR will work to replace a standard tank style water heater no problem.

since you're going from an Atwood water heater to a Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB44FR you may have to make some modifications since Atwood water heaters had some of the biggest cut-outs, which is why a trim kit were offered.
However to truly know if there will be any work that needs to be done, all you need to do is measure your current Atwood cut-out and compare it to the new Fogatti cut-out.
The Fogatti water heater has a cut-out of 13" wide x 13" tall x 17-3/4" deep. From... view full answer...
I reached out to the manufacturer, Excel, and they told me that their Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR can only be installed in a bathroom if it has an active ventilation system.
That means there would have to be a powered vent actively moving the air. I'm going to go ahead and assume that there is not active ventilation in the compartment under the bathroom sink and if not you would need to find another place to install the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR.

The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR does not require its own specific propane regulator. The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR uses the already regulated propane that is entering the RV and needs a water column pressure of between 8-13, which you will get from a regulator like the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221. view full answer...
The Camco RV Water Heater Thermostat, part # CAM08143, attaches directly to the metal of the water heater tank. Per Camco there should be studs mounted in the hot water heater tank and this thermostat will attach directly to the tank. No hardware comes with the thermostat. If you are missing the bolts needed to mount the thermostat you should be able to get them at your local hardware store. view full answer...

The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 60,000 BTU - 16" x 16" Door # FR98SR is typically wired into a distribution panel on a fuse.

I have a great option for you but there is no direct replacement available for a Atwood GC10A-4E RV Water Heater. Instead you will want the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater item # FR68SR. This tankless water heater is the same size as your Atwood and is easy to swap out by changing fittings and reconnecting the wiring. It will provide you with 144 gallons of hot water per hour.
A less expensive option would be the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater item # LSB64FR but you will have to modify... view full answer...
Since you don't have the wiring harness on your previous RV water heater you most likely had an all propane powered unit. The Atwood RV Water Heater w/ Heat Exchange - Gas and Electric - Automatic Pilot - 8,800 Btu - 6 Gal #AT96163 is powered by both gas and electric and has a wall mounted control switch which is where the red, blue, white, and green wires on top of your water heater would run to.

The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 41,800 Btu - Black Item # LSB44FR requires a cold water inlet pressure of 14.5~116PSI to properly operate. If your tank with ShurFlow water pump can support this you'll have no issues. If you're having water pressure issues from the water heater then you'll need to increase the PSI (while still within the 116PSI maximum) by adjusting your pump or using a water regulator like the Valterra Adjustable Water Regulator for RVs -... view full answer...
In the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR it lists that a non-toxic antifreeze solution can be ran through the system to winterize it and to plan for an additional 1L of antifreeze to fill the water heater's pipes. When winter ends you'll need to thoroughly flush the water heater with clean water and drain water out through the drain plug several times to ensure that all of the antifreeze makes it's way out of the system. view full answer...
If you are able to install the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR in a way that protects it from freezing temps then you can definitely use it all year long.
Should you not have enough room for a standard water heater shape then I recommend checking out the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater # EX93FR which is a bit slimmer and only requires 2" of clearance on either side and 8" of clearance above the unit for adequate breathing. If this can fit in a place where freezing temps wont get... view full answer...
