Can I JUST replace the tank?

I have a ten year old Atwood XT 10 gallon LP and Electric Water Heater. The tank has corroded and is leakaing, but the rest of the parts are fine.
Can I JUST replace the tank? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Tank you very much!!!

    YES....you can replace just the tank

    The tank is held onto the drawn pan by seal rings that are press fitted on combustion/exhaust chamber ports.
    Those have to be cut off to remove/separate pan from tank


    New tank comes with new rings/gaskets/insulation
    Same tank used for standard 10 gal and the XT 10 gal (GE16-EXT Model)

    New tank #91060 $204

    Atwood GE16-EXT complete...$671

    Sure, but you will probsbly find it just as cheap to buy the whole thing.

    Yes. Just Google your exact Atwood water heater model number for a replacement tank.
