NOTE: When replacing the element on a combination gas/110 VAC unit, always check the back
of the heater for the type of element it has. It will either be a bolt-on or screw-in
element. They are not interchangeable.
FEATURES
All units operate on propane gas.
•
A heat exchange option is available for motor homes. The water heater tank must have factory equipped
•
heat exchange tubes welded on it already. They cannot be added later. A new water heater tank with this
option is the only way to obtain this feature.
Skin mounting allows the water heater to be hooked up with plumbing and electrical before the sidewall is
•
erected.
The tank has a clad aluminum lining that protects against corrosion and does not need to be replaced on a
•
yearly or more frequent basis unlike an anode rod. A more detailed explanation of cladding is found in the
back of this manual.
95% of all servicing can be done on the outside of the water heater. 110 VAC heating components are the
•
exception since they are located on the back of the water heater inside the trailer.
A flush flange is available for all models. This makes the access door flush with the trailer sidewall.
•
There are multiple protection features in the form of a pressure-temperature relief valve, a limit switch in the
•
gas thermostat and an externally sealed combustion chamber.
On combination water heaters, the gas mode and the 110 VAC heating mode can be operated at the same
•
time since each mode has its own thermostat.
Both the six and ten gallon units have the lightest weight in the industry.
•
The Atwood Limited Warranty is for a period of two years.
•
There are over 1,000 Service Centers throughout the United States.
