Is Replacement Atwood Water Heater Available That Runs Off Only Electricty

Question:

My Atwood Model G6A2E water heater needs to be replaced. It is in a 1984 Avion and I think its the original unit. This trailer is 100 on shore power. Is it possible to get an electric i.e. no gas inline water heater? Thanks.

Hey Velle, thanks for reaching out!

We have gas and electric water heaters like the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR, but to my knowledge none of the RV water heaters run off of pure electricity.

The Dometic one I referenced has a tank so I actually recommend replacing it with a tankless option like the Furrion # FR48SR which is much more efficient and powerful than the standard heaters that use traditional tanks on them. This Furrion only runs off of gas though so you won't be able to step away form that part of the setup.
