mchero,
I, about an hour & half ago installed the 6 gallon hot rod in our Atwood HWH, was a piece of cake, took about 45 minutes.
In your pic, where the LP gas line comes through the metal housing to hook up to the gas valve, I just made a slit in that rubber seal around the copper line & ran the wires through there.
Then I took some electrical tape & covered the copper line just to be on the safe side in case the wires should giggle & wear on the insulation.
I mounted the thermostat in the center of the tank just like in eric1514 pic & hook all the wires up.
Now my next problem, is getting 120V into the area behind the HWH & then a switch to turn it no or off.
So far it has been maybe 2~3 hours since I plugged it up & got good hot water & aint burned a single drap o lp gas.
If I had only had that hot rod Saturday morning, we wouldnt have had to go till Monday night before a good hot bath.
Felt like an ol poor mountain kid again, those days washing with a wash rag.
Neil
