[VAC] Re: Skin damage and water heater



The direct replacement will be an Atwood either 6 or 10 gallon LP pilot model.
If you want to upgrade to a Direct Spark Ignition model you will need to bring
12V to the heater and find a place for the inside switch. Another option would
be to upgrade to a LP/110V electric will require you to run 110V from a breaker
and mount a switch.
If the old heater is a 10 gallon model you may want to try to modify the new one
so you can reuse that snazzy stainless steel cover with two tabs which is NLA.
Otherwise a flat aluminum paint will make it look OK.
