Atwood Water Heater Direct Replacement For GC6AA-8P Model
Question:
need to replace the water heater in my 1998 Dutchmen, the water heater model installed at the moment is the model G6AA-8P but I dont see it available anymore. Which model would be a direct replacement for that one? Thank you!

The Atwood GC6AA-8P 6-gallon water heater's replacement is Atwood water heater part # AT96117 according to Dometic (who bought the Atwood water heaters). It is not a direct replacement but it is the closest to the GC6AA-8P heater that is still available.
The GC6AA-8P had a pilot relight feature so if the pilot flame got blown out, it would automatically relight. That feature is no longer available in any of the water heaters available through Atwood.
