Hey Ed, the best option we have would be the Dometic RV Water Heater part # DMC39RR which is a 6 gallon water heater like what you have now. This has an automatic pilot light instead of the manual light your current model has so that would be a solid upgrade.

Hi: I have the same issue. Since my prior HWH had a manual pilot, I do not have a switch to turn on the electric ignition. Which switch is compatible with Dometic DMC39RR? Thanks Doug

@DougB The part # DMC39RR actually comes with a switch so you wouldn't need to provide that separately.
