Dometic bought Atwood some time ago and has slowly been phasing all of the Atwood models out so we do have a replacement for you but not the exact same model. The Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR would be the closest replacement 6 gallon water heater to your GCH6A-10E SP.
That being said I highly recommend getting away from tanked systems altogether and getting the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. This unit features a heating capacity of 13,000 - 60,000 Btu, well above that of your Atwood GCH6A-10E SP.
It has similar dimensions at 12-5/8" L x 12-13/16" W x 19-3/16" D so you'll just need to make some 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.
If you have any further questions or need any assistance please feel free to reply back.
