Timely information for me. I just put in a new Atwood water heater. I finally made the water connections and just hooked up the gas line (1971 Tradewind 25 foot dual axle). The water connections were not difficult, it was difficult finding the part I needed. Every Home Depot wanted to sell me a box full of connections. There was not enough space for that luxury, but I finally found the needed part and made it. I need to put the million screws in the outside (I used that putty tape) and then seal with Vulkum. I have the gas line connected and I do NOT like the way it is hanging under the trailer. There is very little support. I am going to look for some connectors. I guess I can just screw or rivet the connectors to the belly pan and hold the gas line that way..... am I right? For a while, I thought this thing was going to beat me. But I really like warm showers. I am on the down hill run now. Thanks for the help and the discussion of the water heaters have helped.
