Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-8E RV Water Heater

Question:

I am looking for a replacement water heater for the GC6AA-8E. Is there a replacement unit and one that is only electric? I dont require the gas feature.

Currently there isn't a direct replacement for your GC6AA-8E and there is not an electric only model either so instead I recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. It has smaller dimensions at 12-5/8L x 12-13/16W x 19-3/16D so you'll need to make slight alterations to your cutout hole to fill in the gap but the performance output of this unit will be worth the work. The on-demand hot water and ability to set the temperature to a specific degree instead of the old fashioned arrow knob will make camping much more enjoyable.

The # FR98SR has the following requirements to properly operate:

12VDC Power Input.

7.2-65PSI water Pressure (40-50PSI recommended). I recommend using a water pressure regulator like # CAM40064 to ensure proper water pressure.

11" WC - 14" WC (13" WC recommended). I recommend having a licensed technician check your pressure and adjust your regulator accordingly to ensure proper gas pressure.
