hello I am planning to replace my entire Atwood G6A-7E hot water tank with another similar one. and the model of that one is GC6AA-8E. basically my first atwood model is strictly a gas only model.
And the new one is a gas and electric model as well. my motorhome is a 1994 fleetwood bounder, so i’m assuming the electrical hookup has not been done for me already. i’m really quite new to this rv diy stuff although i have plenty of carpenter and handy man experience.
so if anyone has had a history with adding in a 120 electrical hookup to an atwood water heater please give me any advice. if you can provide photos on what you did that would be so helpful so i don’t get lost on what to do, thanks again i appreciate any help anyone offers and i’m so thankful for this forum i would not be any good with these repairs without all the help, much appreciated!
I do also currently have an electric converter setup in my motorhome. so i believe that can be helpful. i will post a photo of it for you below.![09E60AFF-805E-442C-A876-BE02563A6253.jpeg 09E60AFF-805E-442C-A876-BE02563A6253.jpeg](https://www.rvforum.net/data/attachments/84/84615-65ee824725adc942a43a4821cc948eed.jpg)
