Lightweight
Vintage trailer owners are very concerned about weight. At dry weight, Atwood six-gallon models are 14 pounds lighter than competitive models; 10 gallon models are 30 pounds lighter. This is primarily due to the use of an aluminum tank rather than a steel tank in other brands. Another benefit of an aluminum tank is that a sacrificial anode rod is not required.
Fuel-Saving Flexibility
Atwood water heaters operate on L.P. gas or 110VAC. With the electric option, the heater can be run either off an electrical hook up or a generator.
Serviceable
98% of all serviceable components are accessed through the exterior door. Access means that if you do need service, it’s easy and no one has to enter your coach to perform the work. Service time is reduced and you have peace of mind when you travel.
Multiple Protection Features
The high temperature limit switch, thermostat and pressure and temperature relief valve, prevent problems before they happen. An externally sealed combustion chamber keeps the outside of the unit cleaner.
Electronic Ignition (DSI)
Convenience and safety. A simple flip of the switch from inside the coach turns the water heater on or off.
