Hi Old-Biscuit,
Mine is a Dometic from 2005.
You mean Atwood......Dometic didn't acquire Atwood until 2014
Atwood started in 1909 as Vacuum Machine Company by 2 brothers
Made their 'name' in the automotive business with the “universal rubber door bumper” which put an end to door rattles in early automobiles along with door hinges & seat adjusters
Got into the RV market in 1936....then bought out Bowen Company in 1964 which was an RV water heater mfg.
Trailer jacks, surge brakes, Wedgewood ovens, Hydroflame furnaces, Fan-Tastic Vent company....one company after the other until Dometic took them over.
