Engine Heat Exchange
The engine heat exchanger allows you to heat the tank water as you drive so that the water will be ready for you when you reach your destination. It hooks up to your engine's coolant system, and transfers engine heat to the water heater. This heat is automatically transferred when the RV's engine is running. No switch is required for activation. The double-walled tubing used in this system prevents engine coolant from contaminating your fresh water.
Because the pilot light can only be lit when the vehicle stops, tank water is usually heated after you reach your destination. Doing so can take up to 30 minutes. Not only does the heat exchanger on this water heater help to heat your water faster, but it also conserves gas. A typical water heater that uses propane alone requires 27-percent more gas to heat the full tank by itself once the destination is reached.

Just happened to see that eTrailer carried water heaters for motorohomes. Pricing was excellent and delivery was fast. The Atwood GCH10 is a direct replacement for my 19 year old unit of the same model. If one lasts 19 years, hopefully the replacement will too. I do recommend the product and eTrailer as a company to do business with 736546

Great heater. What people might not realize,, is that these heaters some from the factory already assembled and what you see is what you get. etrailer only sells the heater but they might also have the parts that you think should be a part of the heater. Thermostats are installed by the manufacturer, not the seller. Great service from etrailer and I will always check then for parts needed in the future

This water heater was a direct replacement for my Atwood GEH16 EXT. The shipping was very fast, and it is very well packed in the box. The only thing not included with this water heater was the mix valve that screws into the back. If your replacing an old water heater with this one it is a good idea to replace this valve too. This water heater was exactly like my old one and works perfectly !!! Thanks etrailer 713349

After 12 years of hard California water, my Atwood model GEH16 EXT water heater tank developed pin holes. I would call this heater a direct replacement. Mounting holes, size, wiring, and water/engine coolant/propane connection locations were identical. It comes with a white exterior access door, however the closing latch and hinge points were also identical to the original, allowing use of the original RV door. I only gave it 4 stars due to the attention to detail during factory assembly. The pressure relief valve was tighten to face the heat defuser assemble, and required adjustment. Some of the control box wires were pulled tight against the pressure relief valve, relaxing the excess wrap of the wires improved the routing and eliminated chafing. The engine coolant hose connection points are shorter than the original, not protruding beyond the styrafoam case as far. Making installing and tightening the hose clamps more difficult. Overall very happy with the product and the assistance the etrailer staff provided in the selection, and quick shipping. As with any product, inspect how its assembled from the factory and correct items that would create issues later. 653949

Installment was a little challenging. I had to install an extra electric switch. That being said the heater itself and production of hot water is excellent. I think it’s a great product. 496365

- How to Remove Old RV Water Heater to Install New UnitWhen removing a water heater, you want to remove the cover completely first and then the screws in the face plate. Next make sure you have drained all of the water from the unit. You will want to remove your electric connection and propane connection before removing those features. The outside edge of the frame is normally sealed so you will need to carefully remove caulk to allow the frame to move freely. On the underside, you should have an access panel to get to your water and electrical...

The door dimensions are 17-3/4" tall x 18" wide. Based on my research the OD 50 model is 16" D x 12-1/2" W x 12-1/2" H without door so it will take up more space. I've attached the wiring diagram as you asked. I'll email the instructions separately as it is a large file.

- Will Atwood Water Heater AT94023 Replace Atwood GH10-3EThe Atwood Water Heater part # AT94023 is a 10 gallon (like what you have), but is gas and electric unlike the current one you have which is only gas. Aside from that they are basically the same size and provide similar heating as they are both 10,000 BTU. It would wire in similar to your current setup and can work without having an AC unit installed as well.

This 10 gallon heater is 16" tall x 15-1/2" wide x 20-7/8" deep so you need to make sure you have at least that much space in order for the unit to fit, and the vent on the front of the 10 gallon unit is also going to be in a different spot because it is a larger unit. If you are willing to cut a hole to...

However, the GE16-EXT has a valve to mix in cool water so that that the 10 gallon capacity is more like 16 gallons.

That said, I do need to mention that the manufacturer states that installation of this water heater MUST be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier as it can be a difficult and possibly dangerous install so this is not something you should attempt yourself as it is not a DIY. I've...

- Wiring an Atwood Water HeaterI have attached a wiring schematic for the Atwood # AT94023 water heater. I cannot say with perfect certainty where each of the wires from your existing vehicle originate. You will need to trace those wires. From there you can make the connections according to the schematic. You will be working with AC voltage, so if you are not certain about the wiring I think I would consult with an RV technician.

- Could New RV Water Heater Cause Lower Water Pressure at Faucets Is your water pump still functioning? The fact you heard a click almost sounds like you have a low battery charge. The water heater shouldn't be affecting water pressure so I'd think it's either power related or water pump failure. If you need a water pump we have the 12 volt part # LC689052 or the 115 volt # LC689054 as a replacement as needed.

- Should I Block the Heat Exchange and Propane Fittings when not Using them on the Atwood Water HeaterWith the Atwood RV Water Heater w/ Heat Exchange part # AT94023 there is no need to block off the heat exchange or propane connections if you do not plan on using them. The heat exchange is a tube that cycles the hot water and coolant from the radiator through the water heater allowing it to pre heat the tank using the engine to create the heat. It flows through double wall tubes to ensure no coolant gets into your water supply.

I confirmed the fit of this part with my tech contact there. Atwood recommends installation (and service) be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier. The unit's dimensions are 16 tall x 15-1/2 wide x 20-7/8 deep, which are the same as # AT94191.
