How do I replace a 10 gal Atwood water heater?

It's leaking after only six years and being flushed regularly (once a year). Flushing consists of draining the tank (after turning the water off) and sticking a wand up in there with garden hose. ...

Well you will need to disconnect hot/cold plumbing on backside of tank
Disconnect electrical connections on electric heating element----backside of tank
Disconnect 12V DC wiring
Disconnect propane line in outside compartment
Then remove all screws in frame and pull unit

Although there doesn't appear to be access to rear of tank there probably is a panel that has to be removed.
