Tried google etc, no luck. Quick question. What is the likely brand and tank size (model if known) of the WH in a 98 Southwind? (about 32ft long?) Is it gas and electric?

I see it has two Atwood 8500 type furnaces, but you can't see the WH from the outside. Not listed on the cabinet door appliance list. Thanks.

My 99 Southwind Storm (Class A) has an Atwood GC6A-7E 6 gallon gas/electric water heater. AFAIK, that was the standard/stock water heater that came with the MH. For electric use, the heater has a 120V cord that must be plugged in to a separate remote outlet not provided on the motor home.

If you can open the cover panel, the ID plate is inside.

Couple of pics I looked at on line for 1998 Fleetwood Southwind show exterior panel for an Atwood WH

Model....
COuld be just gas (G6A-7)

Could be a combo with pilot flame (GC6A-7P)
Could be a combo with electronic ignition (GC6A-7E)
Could be combo with motor aid....GCH6A-7E

Could be 10 gal units.....GC10A-3E
Or with motoraid GCH10A-3E

That vintage the electric/propane are completely separate functions/controls
