Could anyone tell me a hot water tank that I could use with or without a
heat exchanger. My coach was gutted and I have nothing to go by. In a boat
magazine I can get one that is 11 gallons and is a heat exchanger and
electric for 279.00 or 18 gallon for 449.00 which I think is to big any feed
back would be nice .

Contact Jim DeMaere, 403-329-3091 (they say call collect with your order). Tell
them what year, etc and they will quote you delivered price. Stainless steel
and well done. If you don't have any of the other parts, let them know or maybe
someone on the net will have extras. Good luck.

My suggestion to you both is that you need to purchase a set of manuals
for the GMC. They can answer most of your questions. Cinnabar is the
only one that sells them, they can be reached at 1-800-720-2227. This
list can also be of great help.

Bryan:

The Atwood (815-877-5700) water heater model you want in a 6 gal size is
either GH6-8E for the gas only, heat exchanger, electronic ignition model or
GCH6A-8E for one with a combination gas/AC electric. The corresponding
numbers for a 10 gal model are GH10-3E and GCH10A-3E.

It's goofy, but be aware that the model numbers are the same and apply for
either a water heater version having electronic ignition only as well as one
having a heat exchanger in addition. You have to specify which one you
want.

After reading about you lucky GMC owners guys out there that
have 3-way water heaters. My coach has only the heat exchanger
and 110 VAC for water heating.

I wonder if it's feasible to install a 3-way water heater in my '76
Palm Beach? Has anyone out there done that?

I've always considered the lack of propane as a source of hot water
heat a problem. We mostly camp where there are no hook ups.
Therefore in order to take a shower in the morning we have to run
the genset or go for a drive. That's kind of a pain! It sure seems to
me inefficient to heat with 110 VAC in a motorhome. I like the heat
exchanger feature. I would just to be able to heat with gas when camping.
