Have what looks to be the original water heater in 1986 sunrader classic (rear dinette). From what I can tell, the original model is "rv3-x". Not sure if this is accurate. Just puchased a second hand water heater (suburban sw6d) that is new, save for some missing parts. The module was switched out by p/o. Likewise with brass? the burner tube. It also appears to be missing the little black cover. (See picture) The tank is unused. Not sure if the part where gas hooks up is good or not. My question is concerning replacement parts. E.g. The black cover, new module, etc. Also, the inner burn chamber is coated with some (gray) flaking carbon material, or perhaps some factory coating? Anyone know about this. Water tank looks as though it has never has water it, and the burn chamber appears in burnt. From the picture attached, does this appear to be in otherwise working order? Last picture is of 'new' water heater. First three of existing. By the way... picked this up for $70. Hope it turns out to be a good deal, and not otherwise.

Hello fellow Toyota Motorhomers, I've been looking for a furnace to put in my '91 Dolphin and found an Atwood on Craigslist for $100. The owner can only tell me that it is a 1995, it works well, and came from a small camper. The model # is not listed on it, only a serial number. It looks like it's in great shape from photos. Mainly, I'm wondering if much has changed with the Atwood since 1995...pilot light vs electric, amp usage, etc? Or if there's anything else I should be concernaed about? My Dolphin came without a furnace so I have no experience with these little heaters. Any advice or input is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, First winter in my 1991 Dolphin and I've discovered the Furnace doesn't work. I turn up the thermostat as I've gathered should be the only required action and I get nothing, nada. No clicks (except the contact inside the thermostat which I verified is contacting), no fan (which I gathered I should hear firing up)... nothing at all. I checked the fuse and it's good. Inside I noted a small relay-type box with a button on top (with the number 5 on the button) and that button is recessed completely... I don't know if that is normal or if this might be my first check. I know there is gas to the unit. Any guidance?
