Replacing Suburban water heater for Atwood

Does anyone know if a 6 gallon Suburban water heater can be replaced with an Atwood without too many modifications?

Thanks.

    Good question, I'd like water heater that just takes a vinyl drain plug instead of messing with the sacrificial rod required with the Suburbans.

    Size of the hole in the side of your trailer will have to be changed to match the Atwood's different dimensions.
