Our Holiday of your coach's vintage already had its WH replaced when we bought it. I know the prev owner and found out it was a last-minute replacement just before a trip. Is your WH a "MorFlow"? I think that's the one that became Suburban. The one that came out was DSI like you have now. If you can't fix your current one, YES DO install another DSI. Ours was replaced with a "Standing Pilot" WH and it was a PITA. It'd blow out, blow itself out, and sat there wasting LPG if we wanted to have hot water at the ready.
Check your outside wall cutout dimensions AND your interior "depth" carefully. Essentially, modern Atwood and Suburban WH's mount at 90-degrees to each other. In one the tank is lengthwise to the coach and the other is crosswise. In our Holiday, somebody cut the outer skin to allow installing the Atwood. You may be able to avoid that by selecting the right manufacturer, as well as features.
Our current WH is a Suburban DSI WITH 120VAC electric.
