The closest replacement we have for the Atwood RV Water Heater GE16-EXT is the Atwood RV Water Heater w/ Heat Exchange GCH10A-4E part # AT94023. The GCH10A-4E has both gas and electric features just like the GE16-EXT as well as a 10 gallon capacity. However, the GE16-EXT has a valve to mix in cool water so that that the 10 gallon capacity is more like 16 gallons. The GCH10A-4E however has a heat exchange that connects to RV's radiator system and heats the water as you drive.

Therefore, the GE16-EXT will provide more hot water but the GCH10A-4E will provide hot water faster.

Your GC10a-3e unit is a 10 gallon gas/electric water heater, so the Atwood # AT94022 should work really well as a replacement.
