Expert Reply:
While we don't have a solely electric option I do still have a tankless option with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR that you'll find is superior to your Atwood G6A-8E. This unit has an industry high BTU rating of up to 60,000 BTU's and can give you up to 144 gallons of hot water per hour, making your camper feel more like home. I saw you were looking at the # LSB44FR, but I'm not a big fan as it routinely has issues and I end up doing quite a bit of troubleshooting for something that should just be easy.
When installing the unit you'll want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the mounting flanges for the unit and door and some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the outer lip of the door for a waterproof seal.
