Can Atwood Water Heater in 2015 Starcraft Comet H1232 A-frame Be Converted to Switch Control

Question:

Purchased 2015 Starcraft Comet H1232 A-frame pop up equipped with captioned WH. Unit appears to be manual lighting and shut off through the exterior access panel. Yuk. Is there a switch available that will allow me to remotely inside the cabin light and turn off this particular water heater? All switches found online so far do not list this particular model as compatible. I plan to install switch myself. Thanks. Atwood MPD 93756 Water Heater.

My technical contact at Atwood/Dometic said that most often smaller pop-ups like your 2015 Starcraft Comet H1232 A-frame come standard with a manual-pilot-only water heater. For these there is no retro-fit to electrical operation via an inside switch; you would need to replace the entire heater.

The number 93756 actually refers to the specific document for your heater, but it is not actually the heater part number.

The linked page displays the gas and gas/electric combo water heaters we offer. These are available in 6 and 10 gallon sizes and both 12V and 120V types. These heaters comes in two sizes; 6-gallon models are 12-1/2L x 16W x 18D Inch and 10-gallon models are 16L x 15-1/2W x 20-7/8D Inch.
