The unit is a stand alone way of heating the water in the tank by additing a metal heating rod separate from existing devices.gas or electric

Both, but I disabled the gas. I love this kit btw. You can go back to gas if you need.

Do not buy it is supposed to be an addition and did not do what it said it would maybe saw a 2 degree difference today not worth the hassle of install and the money.

Depends on how your electric heat is set up. This one goes thru the drain plug on the bottom outside of water heater.

My water heater was older and only had propane. Now it has electric and gas, I can dual run them but most of the time I use electric now. Which woks well! It takes more time to heat the water shower it is easer than moving the gas tanks all of the time, and relighting the pilot light every time I went to camp. Hope this helps you. I totally recomend the unit.

Yes. I have it configured with heat pump, along with emergency elec heat - to make sure you have the advanced model.

Yes, that is he same model of water heater that I have and this is the part I used when my thermocouple stopped working this summer. I researched to see if you could just replace the thermocouple on this water heater, but you can't; you have to replace this entire unit, which this part does. Super easy to install too.

There are two major manufacturers of water heaters for RV's. Atwood and Suburban. They are not interchangeable and the models may vary over the years. I would highly suggest that you get the model number of the water heater that you have and that would alleviate any chance of making a mistake. Most manufacturers wont take back an electrical item once it has been installed. If you cant find the model #, call your local RV dealer and give them the make and model of the trailer in question along with the maker of the hotwater heater and they can tell you the proper part number for the board. Trust this helps, good luck. There are two major manufacturers of water heaters for RV's. Atwood and Suburban. They are not interchangeable and the models may vary over the years.

gas, electric / makes no difference. Its just a stovetop cooker that needs to boil.

No this is a replacement for the water heater Anode Rod. Our new travel trailer suggests replacing them every year.

I think it has electric heating elements, but you should just contact customer service, they're very knowledgeable

There is a regulator on the unit. I called up Atwood to ask if something addt'l was needed & they said no. My motor home has a regulator on its propane system as well.

My heater is connected to a 300 gallon propane tank so I can't answer your question. My heater is a backup in case an electric heater fails. It has never been used even once.

No. Unfortunately mine burned out and was replaced several times and it became more economical to replace with a standard water heater. I no longer can recommend this product.

The replacement would be the Atwood 96117 GC6AA-8 Manual Pilot Gas and Electric 6 Gallon Water Heater.

I'm not sure. Can't look at mine right now but I think that's what mine is. Great water heater.

Mine is either natural gas or propane by placing the provided pipe plug into the proper opening in the back of the heater---very simple!

Most obvious thing: check the circuit breaker. It is probably not the same one that runs the pump. If you are not familiar with electrical troubleshooting, get professional help. Otherwise, make sure that the heater is getting electricity. If not, get professional help. Otherwise, shut the power off and check for continuity of each component. I'd start with the heating elements. Use your phone and take a picture of the wires on the elements. Remove the wires from the elements and test with an ohmmeter (if available). Each should read about 10 ohms. If either element is open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. Next check the thermostat. Take a picture and remove the wires. Assuming the water temperature is low, the thermostat should be closed and your ohmmeter reading near zero. If it's open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. Next, check the high temperature cut off. Take a picture and remove the wires. Like the thermostat, it should be closed. If it's open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. If it still doesn't work, get professional help. Hope this helps, ..j

Many of the RV water heaters use the same elements as home hot water heaters. Check out your local Box ( Lowes ) Store, you can also find the tool you will need to remove the element. Hope this helps. I am assuming your hot water heater is a combination propane , electric.
