I do have an option for you. But I can tell you that the feature you have with the hose coming from the engine through the water heater is no longer available.

Since you are needing to replace your GCH10A-3E water heater, I recommend going with a tankless option like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR.

The # FR98SR is a tankless, on-demand water heater that lets you simultaneously wash dishes, do laundry, and take endless hot showers without hot and cold water fluctuations. It produces 144 Gallons of hot water per hour and has internal safety features that automatically activate to protect you, your family, and your RV. It will shut off power if the water temperature exceeds 149 F, cut off the gas if the flame goes out to prevent gas from leaking inside your RV and allows pressure to vent at 87 psi to prevent excess pressure and heat build-up.
