Charlie, you are a genius and maybe even a mind reader. I just drove in
from Camping World with the Atwood 6 gallon pilot model. The direct
ingition costs almost $130 more. I figured I could light it for that. I
will let you know how the install goes. I hope the connections are close to
the same. And I bought some of that ugly grey putty tape. I am looking for
some Vulkem now to finish it.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
