If it's a Birchaven or Royale coach, that's probably the original water
heater. It looks just like the one that's been working (almost) perfectly
in my X-Birchaven for 40 years now. The (almost) is that the green plastic
control knob broke making setting a bit difficult. I added a 120vac
heating element in the drain about 18 years ago so seldom light the burner.

Pete,
That is a good choice, but let me advise you on fey issues.
Select the on that ignites by 12 volt, as the one pictured is not that
model, also get the one that has the 120V heating along with the engine
heat.
Consider which side of the coach you will mount, as mounting on the
passenger side is not wise as that is the side we sit around, so when it
lights up, it produces heat. Maybe not bad for winter month.
If you don't mind we like to quote you a delivered price on a unit, as we
are competitive and should you have any questions, we know enough to assist
you. You do not get that type of service from Camping World or others.
