I’ve a Barth breakaway. The Atwood hot water heater is a CH6-6E and is working but requires a new gas valve. ( sticking) Since I don’t know the vintage of this hot water heater unit, I was considering a replacement. The -6E seems obsolete so my question is, what is the next step or equivalent? IE; the -8E ? Does anyone have a breakdown on what the designations mean? Thanks! | ||

It may be a lot cheaper to replace the gas valve. Chances are it is still being produced. Really only 2 choices: pilot style and electronic spark style. These things have aluminum tanks and rarely corrode through. Search for CH6-6E shows gas valve part number 93844 available: https://www.amazon.com/Atwood-...-Valve/dp/B0007XVWWU Easy to change.  For about $60 more you can rebuild everything except circuit board. I did my 10 gallon Atwood a while back. https://www.barthmobile.com/eve...1087061/m/3683998097 The new model numbers are indeed confusing. Your choices include LP only, LP + 110V, and LP + 110V + engine heat. LP models with pilot may require no power. Those models with spark ignition will require 12V to power the ignitor circuit board. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

Why do we need a hot water heater anyway? If it's already hot it doesn't need heating! A cold water heater, now that could be handy…  9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||
