homelesshartshorns Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Atwood 90073 XT Gas Water Heater - 6 Gallon Maybe someone can give me some direction. I need a new water heater. This is a photo what mine looks like, but it is advertised as Gas only? I would like to find something that looks like this but is a three way! Gas, Electric and radiator heated. I have a 2000 Suncruser.

jbh Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Looks like our old-style water heaters are gone; I couldn't find any three-way anywhere. Here's the Dometic Attwood page. https://www.dometic.com/en-us/outdoor/rv-and-van/heating-solutions/water-heaters/dometic-wh-6gea-6-gallon-water-heater-219438 Quote -C&J- CG reviews & more - www.fugawetribe.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas, Electric and radiator heated. What you are looking for is a "motor aid" water heater. Those have been around for a long time and Atwood did make what you want as we had one in our 1998 Cruise Master but doing a search, it seems that Dometic, who now owns what was Atwood RV Appliance manufacturing, no longer makes one. Suburban, now owned by Airxcel does still make a motor-aid model as I found one at RV Upgrades and also on Amazon, but both of them are 10 gallon models so would not fit without modification of the RV. While Suburban does make a water heater that is designed to fit where an Atwood was, it does not appear that it is available in a motor-aid version.

homelesshartshorns Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Thank you, Mr. Kirk, Motor-Aid Version helped me a lot! I could not figure what to search for.

Kirk W Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 If you don't have one now they will need to run hoses like are used for the vehicle heater to supply coolant from the radiator. It is handy to have hot water at lunch stops and such without waiting for the water heater to get hot. But it is also expensive to put in and makes the water heater more expensive.
