plumbing hookups including gas should be the same
but you will need a 12 v supply and a 120 volt supply to the heater. 12volt has to be on all the time, 12 volt controls the propane and controls the 120 with a relay. you will have to run 12 volt sized wires to the control panel(2 switches) which can be mounted anywhere. its either 3 or 4 wires from the heater to the control panel

Only needs 12V DC for a G6A-8E -----no electric element
Atwood uses an aluminum tank which CAN be welded
Atwood does sell replacement tanks
G6a-8e is gas only but uses 12VDC for circuit board controls
12V DC from a FUSED source to ON/OFF switch
From Switch 12VDC to thermal cut off fuse to t-stat
From t-stat to circuit board (Brown wires)
From circuit board to ECO to gas valve (Red Wires)
So you need the 12V DC Fused supply to on/off switch
AN On/off switch and then wired to Brown wire on water heater.
And wire from BLUE wire on water heater to go back to on/off switch for Fault Light
Single On/Off Switch Wiring
