[VAC] (Cold) Water heater - Serious Question



Hello Everyone,

I have a 1963 Overlander with its original Bowen water heater.  The heater
is leaking water from the bottom onto the floor. I check every external
water connection and found none leaking.  I have to unfortunately assume
this water heater is toast!

For those of you who have replaced one of these, which modern heater fits
best (or is easiest to install) -- A 6 gal. Suburban? or a 6 gal. Atwood? Or
other water heater?

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David Reilly
