Who's selling replacement tanks for these now? I'd seen them on MarksRV but not recently...
The tanks are everywhere. Atwood P/N 91641. Under $200 usually.
Assuming it is original, the water heater in an 06 Cruise unit would have been put into service in Spring 05. That puts the water heater at 8 years old. He can swap out the tank, but if I were a betting man, it won't be long before he's shopping for other parts. The circuit boards, burners, and t-stat/ECO are what goes out most frequently. When you add all that up, he's close to new water heater territory.
Something like the Atwood GC6AA-10E would be a direct "plug and play" replacement and he would gain the option of heating water with electricity or LP.
