Weld the tank. that heater is no longer made in that size and shape. The Texas deep freeze of a year ago went thru all of the stocks of the old Atwood design.
Suburban does make a Atwood compatible replacement but its a Suburban with its steel tank and I would not want one.
The heater disassembles rather easily and you only need a couple of sleeves that fit the outside of the flame tubes, They press in and easily done with a piece of large PVC pipe as a driver.
The H in the model number GHC6A-10E is what tells you it is a heat exchanger model.

After 43 years as an RV tech, I don't understand WHY you would not want a Suburban Water Heater. It has a porcelain-lined, steel water heater tank. I would state that the rate of freezing and causing a destroyed inner tank is 10 to 1. 10 Atwoods for every 1 Suburban is about what I have experienced over the years. Granted, you cannot buy a Suburban replacement inner tank, but they are more forgiving in freezing weather than the Atwood Aluminum tank. Doug
