Gas supply for Atwood water heater

[cheetah1]

Hi Otra15! Thank you for asking - and - this project has so far turned out successfully. Given the input I received, some of which triggered additional research on-line on my end, we were able to successfully run the 3/8" copper line from the existing valve under the trailer up thru a newly created hole to join up with the new water heater. I ran into a GREAT and extremely knowledgeable salesperson at Menards (he was actually a retired plumber) that helped talk me through some additional questions I had.

So, the gas line is run and has been tested for leaks. Now, I just have to figure out how to connect all the electrical wires coming out of the water heater to the correct power sources inside the trailer!

Thanks for the update!

The rubber gasket on my water heater is cracked. Is it safe to use it? We are about to go camping and the AS dealer here is useless. They worked on my water heater in the fall and didn't notice it was cracked.

Thanks

Are you talking about the grommet where the copper comes into the heater ?

Yes, that's it.
