Question:

I have a Dometic water heater, Model GC10A-2 , serial 94131, it has a leaking tank, would you have a replacement tank Thanks Carl

Hi Carl; Atwood (which made your water heater) is no longer in business and replacement tanks are not made for them, so the best we can offer is replacing your heater with a new one, the tankless Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR.

These give you on-demand hot water and are far more energy efficient than heaters with tanks. I know it's not what you asked for but I thought I'd give you the option since a replacement Atwood tank isn't something made anymore.

Hi Kyle, thanks for the quick reply. I'm wondering how easy or difficult it would be to exchange my old Domtic GC10A-2, for the unit that you recommend, will the water lines, electric and propane lines connect without adapters? My Domtic is an electric/propane heater, but from what I understand , the one you recommend runs on propane.

@Carl Correct, the Furrion # FR48SR does run on propane, and from what I saw it uses the same size propane and water line fittings as your Atwood/Dometic. So from that perspective it should be the same, though do note you'll have to widen the door as the older Atwoods have 18" x 14" doors and that 14" width isn't something new water heaters come with. The directions for install of this unit are linked below if you'd like to take a look.
