Keeping the Bowen shroud on an Atwood water heater.
I have come across many solutions to keeping the old shroud on my 1961 Bambi when I install a new Atwood water heater. Is the one pictured the best? I still haven't figured out how it will drain right. Advice?

If you don't want to just open the plug and let it go you can cut a "T" into the fill line inside and put a tap and line through the floor.
