Option to Replace Atwood G6A-8E Water Heater
Question:
I am trying to locate a replacement water heater for model # G6A-8E WIN. Do you sell a replacement with little to no modifications required for installation? Thank you

There is a 12 volt water heater (which the G6A-8E is) that you can replace the G6A-8E with, but there will be modifications needed, particularly the access door, since yours has a large 18" x 14" door. What you can use as a replacement is a tankless option from Furrion:
- Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR
The # FR98SR measures 12-5/8" tall x 12-5/8" wide x 19-1/4" deep so it is similar to the 12-1/2" tall x 16" wide x 18" deep measurements of your Atwood. The door is 16-1/8" tall x 16-1/8" wide so you'll need to accommodate that spacing as there isn't a heater with the Atwood's dimensions.
That said, if you are willing to do so, this tankless water heater is definitely worth it because its simpler to use with a wall control, gives you hot water right away so you aren't waiting around for it to warm up, and this also means the heater conserves energy because it only gets used once you turn the water on.
