I have an atwood gc6aa 10e water heater.
Atwood rv water heater will not stay lit.
I can t think of anything more frustrating than a pilot light that will not stay lit.
It will light run for 2 or 3 seconds and turn off.
When i turn it on it fires up for about 10 seconds then stops then fires up again and keeps repeating this cycle as long as the switch is on.
