• Replacement Anode and Element for a Suburban SW6DE Water Heater
  
• Yes, I called the manufacturer and they told me you have the Suburban SW6DE Water Heater. We do not have the OEM replacement parts for this unit but we have had customers use the Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod part # CAM11563 and the Camco Water Heater Element part # CAM02143 with success. If you would like to replace the water heater all together then we have the Atwood RV Water Heater w/ Heat Exchange part # AT96163 which is a very similar unit but I can certainly understand if you...

• Replacement Heating Element for a Suburban SW6DE Water Heater
  
• I was looking through the manual for the Suburban SW6DE water heaters and found that the Suburban replacement is similar but shorter than the Camco model # CAM02143. It looks like the original one used in that water heater was discontinued and replaced with 520900. So I do believe that Camco Water Heater Element - Screw-In - 1500 Watts - 120 Volts Item # CAM02143 will work. Another option is Camco RV Replacement Water Heater Element - Universal - 1,500W/120V Item # CAM04363. Both of...

• Location of Heating Element on Atwood RV Water Heater
  
• According to Dometic, the company that purchased Atwood, the MPD 93755 is an instruction booklet. To get particulars about where the element is located, I'd need the model number of the heater itself. The number should be printed or stamped onto a plate or sticker on the heater. The model number typically starts with a G. In very general terms, the heating element is accessible from the rear of the heater, there will be 2 wires leading to it, and either a nut holding it in place or 4...

• Replacing Water Heater Element on Atwood GC10A-4E Water Heater
  
• The heating element on your Atwood model GC10A-4E water heater (our part # AT94022) should be on the backside of the unit, towards the bottom of the tank. It will actually be behind the gas line assembly, which will need to be loosened and moved out of the way to gain access to the existing element so it can be removed or replaced. I have attached an image to assist. If you need a replacement heating element you can use the Camco # CAM02143.

• Will Camco Water Heater Element # CAM02143 Fit Suburban SW6DEL
  
• Based on my research the Camco Water Heater Element # CAM02143 will indeed work to replace the original element on your Suburban SW6DEL model water heater. This will thread into your tank perfectly and its magnesium oxide and nickel-plated copper tubing will do a great job of resisting corrosion. The only difference is that this replacement element will be a bit shorter than the original unit. This will not affect its performance.

• Finding Water Heater Element in 2004 Jayco Jayfeather 27P
  
• There should be a panel on the outside of your 2004 Jayco Jayfeather 27P on the back passenger side of the RV that you can open and see the water heater. I don't have a way to know for sure what water heater you have but in general the element is near the center and towards the bottom of the water heater. A lot of times it's behind a gas pipe fitting or two as well. I attached a picture that points out the area on a similar Atwood water heater since I don't know which exact model you have.
