I gave a 3 since both items were to be rated together. The water heater would have received a 4 and the door kit a 2. Reason is the door corner was bent and paint cracked on a corner. Chose not to send back and wait since the water heater was installed, needed to get the front covered. Package did not look dented, but guess it could have been dropped by the shipper.

We have Hot Water ! We live in our RV full time so we needed a Hot Water Heater of good quality. Time will tell if this Dometic Hot Water Heater is as good as the old Atwood which it replaced. The packaging was good ! Hot Water Heater appears to be well made. No problems installing the directions were clear and it fired right up. This replacement Hot Water Heater is smaller than our original so we purchased the enlarged door kit which fit perfectly. Great communication with etrailer which helped us find the correct Water Heater for our application. There website information was accurate and we had no problem contacting a human voice when needed.. We are Happy Campers !

One Year Later ~ Hot water Heater is working very well. Pros~ This replacement water heater seems to recover faster than the original. My previous hot water heater was only propane gas so this one has the electric option which works well. Cons~ Burner flame blows out when we have a 20 plus MPH. east wind directly. There are no flame adjustments just a circuit board which controls all the settings.. This hot water heater needs a external wind screen protector to mount over the door to keep the burner flame from blowing out..

This replaced a propane only water heater and it is great have the electric option, saved me a ton of propane. It also went right in with no problems.

A year ago I discovered that I needed a new hot water heater and it was just a few days before a major camping trip. My order was processed quickly and the item came in time for me to install it. I was extremely happy with the turn around service and the product.

Perfect swap for our used RV's old water heater from the 90's.
by: Jeremy07/24/2022
My water heater leaked and It was the old style that is no longer available. This one needed some conversion but it fit. I even made a pan to go under it in case it leaked again.
I used two 1/2” supply lines to make the connections because they were in different locations. Worked like a champ!
Had to use the door conversion which fit perfect.
by: Bruce03/13/2023
Package arrived very quickly in perfect condition, less than one week, sooner than expected.
I am building a cargo trailer conversion and won't install it for a while. I wanted to have for placement location planning. I am confident it will perform as expected.
AND ! the customer service is excellent ! I was even emailed directly by my sales rep with shipping updates.
by: Lawrence09/13/2023
Initially I was worried about whether all my existing wires would correctly line up with the wires on the new unit since my old unit was discontinued. It was perfect. The water intake and outflow on the new unit was aligned differently so I had to get a couple of fittings and crimping tool... Was in the end a jiff to install and worked perfectly. Just remember to always winterize from now on lol. I highly recommend the products I purchased.
by: Wes 07/26/2023
Will was super helpful in identifying the water heater I needed. The order process was simple and I received the new unit in under a week.
Great work!!

Jenny N - 07/13/2022Wish I bought a different brand. Not efficient, takes a while for fire to ignite, heavy propane smell once activated.
Cody - 07/11/2023by: Steven 06/23/2023
Fairly easy install with a few modifications to the original opening for it. It fired right up after the install. Works great. I enjoy the 12 volt and the 110 feature.
by: Nelson 01/24/2023
The heater install was fairly straightforward.
There was a bit of redoing to get it all alighned properly.
Main issue I had was the old unit had a 3 wire control system and the new direct replacement model had 4.So it took a bit to figure out the configuration as the install instructions were for the new unit.
To me a direct replacement is pull old out slip new in, plug and play.
by: Andy07/29/2023
Great product, still working good
by: Tony 03/15/2023
Packaging and everything was in great shape it was an exact match to my replacement less than an hour to install. Everything went perfect
by: Jerry 03/13/2023
Easy to install with the instructions and it works great
by: Arlyn07/18/2022
The jury is still out. When I opened the box there was a screw in the bottom. I found the place it came out of and tried to put it in. But the hole was stripped. Several other screws were also stripped and almost all the rest were loose. I replaced the screws with bigger ones so they would stay in place.

Oh no! Sorry to hear this! Customer Service will reach out.

1 year and so far working perfectly
by: Weylin07/30/2022
etrailer had the best price and shipped this thing fast. I also got the water heater door kit since my rv is older and had a larger cut out. The electric by itself gets very hot combined with the gas this unit will give you long showers. I gave 4 stars because the box was now sealed properly luckily nothing fell out
by: Michael11/09/2022
Did not come with a cover. But, the water gets hot so fast. I use electric and the propane at the same time.
by: Bruce 11/09/2022
Awesome water heater. If you are going to the trouble to replace a bad unit, this is the only way to go.

- Replacement of Atwood GC6AA-9EWhile the Atwood RV Water Heater - Gas and Electric - Automatic Pilot - 120 Volt - 10,000 Btu - 6 Gal Tank, # DMC74FR. Is not considered a direct replacement for the Atwood GC6AA-9E, it can be retrofitted. The needed cutout dimensions are12-3/4" tall x 12-3/4" wide x 19-7/8" deep.

view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Atwood GC6AA-9E RV Water HeaterThe Dometic RV Water Heater part # DMC74FR will work great as a replacement for an Atwood GC6AA-9E. They are both gas and electric with a six gallon tank. It will allow you to reuse the existing door already on the trailer. The swap should be pretty straight forward as they both fit the same size cutout and have similar connections.
view full answer... - Replacement Gas/Electric Water HeaterThat is correct that Atwood water heaters are no longer made as they were purchased by Dometic who stopped production of the old Atwood models. We do carry the Dometic RV Water Heater, # DMC74FR that is an gas and electric water heater. This has an automatic pilot, is 120V with a 6 gallon tank.

view full answer... - Does Aluminum Tank RV Water Heater Use Anode Rod?No, there is no need for an anode rod in water heaters such as your Atwood and the Dometic RV Water Heater, # DMC74FR.

view full answer... - P-T Only Meaning On The Thermostat Of An Atwood GE19-EXT Water HeaterThe "P-T Only" you see on the ECO/T-Stat Label on your Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR is a warning saying that only the pressure/temperature relief valve can go there so people don't try sticking anything else in its place preventing it from relieving excess pressure.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Hot Water Issues In A 2021 Entegra Coach RVIf you're getting hot water everywhere except for your shower then your Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR is not the problem.

You'll need to find out the brand of your shower valve and then you can find the replacement at your local hardware store.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting A DSI-FLT Error On An Atwood RV Water HeaterDSI stands for direct spark ignition and FLT stands for fault. Normally you would see this error code on your Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR if it tried to ignite the burner on the water heater but failed. First thing is to check your propane supply. The second thing would be to check the burn chamber to see if it is clogged with carbon flakes and clean it out. Since you're not running it in gas mode it means that the ECO (Energy Cut Off Switch) is causing your issue. This switch will...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting A Dometic RV Water Heater That's Overheating WaterHot water heater models like the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR use and ECO (energy cut-off) Thermostat instead of an adjustable thermostat. These thermostats are preset and are not able to be adjusted. They are typically set for 130 degrees so if you're experiencing temperatures higher than that you'll want to replace your thermostat. You'll have to reach out to Dometic for a replacement thermostat.

view full answer... - Installation of Atwood RV Water HeaterInstallation instructions are included with the Dometic RV Water Heater, # DMC74FR and from what I understand is not greatly difficult for a knowledgeable/trained person to install but for safety above all things, gas leaks and the harm that comes from such, is cause for the "Note: Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier". If this is not abided, then warranty will most likely be voided. Since you will be using this as a replacement,...

That is the Dometic RV Water Heater - Gas and Electric - Automatic Pilot - 120 Volt # DMC74FR. This is a 6-gallon heater. There are two ways you can install/use this unit: 1.
