Does anyone on the list have a suburban heater in their vanagon?  If so
where did you install it?  Was it hard to install?  Hard to connect
propane and electrical lines?  Any complaints?  Ever run the aux battery
down running the heater?  How long could you keep the van warm on the 3
gallone proane tank?

This info is much appreciated.  For those of you that aren't familiar the
Winnebago Eurovans come with the suburban heater.  Suburban is the most
popular brand of RV heater.  Here is my breakdown of heater options for
the vanagon:

Type:           Cost:                   Saftey/Other:
Gasoline        $500 used <$1000 new  safe if in good cond, hard to work
                                        find/work on
Catalytic       50-$100              not safe for sleeping
vented catalytic  $500 used          safe if in good cond.
forced air propane  $500 new         safe if new, good cond
electric        >$100               pretty safe but need 110V access

Any info greatly appreciated,
