I just installed one of those (Pro) and so far its pretty good. Our Atwood 6 gallon cracked a weld in the neck where the heating element attaches. This was due to a flaw in the install...

Battery Box

This is exactly what I did. No tape patches or anything fancy.. Just pre-drill all of the holes, apply a good amount of dicor around them, install the bracket, and more dicor. Done.
