Hello Rodney,
As far as I know ( and I might be wrong) there is no current importer for Atwood Products into the UK - They are an American company.
You must use the correct flue terminal, as the combustion relies on the terminals characteristics to help draw the products of combustion away from the heat exchanger.
If you are considering trying to use a none Atwood approved terminal, there may be some difficulty I obtaining a good seal to the flue because Atwood will be using imperial specifications, where as Truma for example are metric and the differences in sizes may lead to a leak through the room seal.
As Fleetwood were the origional installers, they should have some contacts for spares, but failing that, a quick search on the internet using "Atwood heater*" as the search string has brought up a number of Atwood related sites including:

You may be able to obtain the parts direct from them in USA.

Rodney, if your van has the round Comfort 3 combination boiler then you will be out of luck with getting spares.
Atwood sold the Comfort series to Truma, who immediately ceased production, then brought out the C series combination boiler, which looks amazingly similar to the old Comfort 3.
I have recently contacted Atwood in America and was given this info by their very helpful staff.

First, congradulations Damian, not always an easy job!
John's point is valid but the common exhaust ducting for caravans has not changed, only it's measurement has changed from imperial to metric. It's now quoted as 51mm bore but thats still 2ins. It's the same for other sizes and should not be an issue.
What I'm not clear about is if yours is a single combined duct? taking both exhaust through the centre and fresh combustion air around the outside, or is two seperate? exhaust and intake ducts.
