Re: [A/S]Hot water heater

Bob, 

According to the documentation I have for my 1984 AS MH, the water 
heater should be an atwood. I believe AS used models with an engine 
heat exchanger.  It is not clear what the model number is.  Could be 
G6A-4E, or GH6-3 or -3E. I don't know what those correspond to in 
terms of today's product.  The existing heater is supposed to be 
removable from the outside after removing all plummed connections 
from the inside.  A quick look on camping world's site lists the 
following direct ignition version.  I did not find a model with a 
heat exchanger.  That may be a special order item. The regular pilot 
light version was over $100 cheaper.
