New to the group. I recently replaced my Atwood 6 gallon direct spark water heater with a Suburban. The fit was perfect and got everything working fine. The problem is I can't find a door frame (flush mount flange) that will fit. I'm pretty sure this was built in to the Atwood. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find this part - I've spent lots of hours online but nothing turns up. Or am I just completely missing something. I'm new to RVing (which explains how I let my old water heater freeze...). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The previous door from the Atwood should work with the new Suburban.

Update: Turns out, after speaking with a technician at a local RV shop, the Suburban flush mount flange was built in. The metal needed to be bent back 90 degrees. Newbie mistake.
