Reason you want to replace?
If it isn't leaking, generally everything else can be fixed..
Do you HAVE to have "motor aide"?
I can understand why those have been eliminated, any device which has the potential to mix extremely hazardous and deadly engine antifreeze with any potable (drinking water) system can pose high risks to the new company..
Not to mention, I would say that "motor aide" is not all that common in the vast majority of RVs, basically a feature specifically with motor homes (and even then perhaps in certain price levels), not in travel trailers or 5th wheels which make up more of the real RV market.
If leaking, Attwood used to sell just the aluminum shell as a replacement part for most of their products, not sure on the one with motor aide since that feature requires some sort of heat exchanger which provides isolation of the engine antifreeze and the potable water..
In reality one could buy a plate heat exchanger (the two water systems are isolated by a air gap but heat is exchanged between the two) and a couple of pumps and create their own motor aide from scratch..
