My '68 Tradewind needs a new water heater. I asked a parts
man at a local RV store which heaters seemed to give the best service. He said
he preferred the Atwood. He also said that he would suggest the 6 gal size over
the 10 gal size because the recovery rate on the larger 10 gal size was slow and
I would actually get as much useful hot water out of the smaller unit for that
reason. I have never heard that comment. The '68 Tradewind came with a 10 gal
tank according to the owner's manual so that's what I was anticipating
replacing.
What's the collective wisdom and experience on the 6 gal
size vs. the 10 gal size and is there any reason to favor the Atwood over the
Suburban models?
