I've been looking into heaters/furnaces for my Vanagon.  Is there any
reason to spend $450 for a Plat-Cat heater that shows up on Thesamba.com

rather than for a Suburban furnace with twice the btus for half the
price that shows up on ebay?

If the reason is space, that's not an issue for me as I can build the
cabinet to fit the furnace.

Curious minds want to know???
