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 like anode rods do. 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.
On all trailers purchased after June 1, 1997 Atwood Limited Warranty is for a period of two years. This
includes all reasonable labor charges.
