Expert Reply:

We do have a replacement option for your GC6AA-8 SP water heater, but manufacturers have been making their units more and more compact so you'll have to do a bit of modification to your current cutout hole for a newer unit to fit. The best unit we currently offer is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR. It is 12-5/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 19-1/4" deep so you'll have to frame in the hole so that the unit has something to mount to.

The access door is 18-1/8" tall x 18-1/8" wide so it will cover the old cutout opening. You'll just want to also use some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the mounting flanges for the unit and door and then some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the outer edge of the access panel for a waterproof seal.
