Question:

I currently have a 2013 Jayco Jay Series pop up camper that needs to have the water heater replaced which is currently an Atwood G6A-7, do you have a direct replacement for this? Thank you!

I recommend upgrading to a Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR. This will give you hot water when you need it and will save propane as rather than the tank constantly being on and hot all the time you only run when you need hot water. You will also not have to deal with lighting the pilot light that you have with your Atwood unit. You will need to make modifications to the gas and water lines but I feel it is much better to upgrade when you have to replace. The lifespan on a tankless is longer than that of a tank type heater.

The door on this water heater is 16-1/8" tall x 18-1/8" wide to cover the 12-5/8" tall x 16-1/4" wide cutout that your Atwood has.
