Atwood water heater 10 gal

cmarq - Saw your post after mine was submitted. Where did you get the adjustable thermostat? This sounds like a good solution. I have also had leaks (drips) at the outlet and inlet of this HWH. Turned out that the plastic nipples used at the factory (? - I'm not the first owner) transitioned from round ends to square in the middle and could not be tightened enough. Of course, they were 1 3/4" long and the only new ones I found locally were all round and either 1 1/2" or 2" long. The 2" seem to work okay, but changing nipples requires taking off the tubing connectors, which then needed new gaskets to stop new leaks.
