Hi Tony, it looks like Dometic bought out Atwood quite a while ago and have been slowly phasing out their old products so the closest replacement we have would be the Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR.
This is a tankless unit that has a 6 gallon capacity, has a 12-3/4" tall x 12-3/4" wide x 19-7/8" deep cutout, and is made in the USA.
