Confusing website
BEWARE.. item shown in picture IS NOT the water heater you receive. One in picture does not need power it has a pilot light that you have to light. One you will receive needs 12 volt power and 110volt power ran. 110 from breaker, 12 volt from fuse panal. 45 minute -1 hour job now becomes a major job with 2 different sets of wires ran from point A to point B. Atwood(dometic) tells everyone including camping world that it is an exact replacement. Size wise yes but thats it. NOT AN EXACT REPLACEMENT!! Waited 2 weeks for shipping just to receive wrong item again.. NOT ONE IN PICTURE

Is this compatable to gc6aa-8?
#25551 is a GCH6A-10E model water heater and can replace a GC6AA-8 unit, both have the ability to use LP and Electric for heating the water, but #25551 also can be hooked up for 'heat exchange' and has DSI capability. For another GC6AA-8 unit, look at <a href=https://www.campingworld.com/atwood-water-heater-6-gal-lp-electric>item# 3688</a>.
