Subject:Re: popup camper furnace (12v) in a Westy

I'm putting a Carver under the bench. I removed the OEM rear heater as I
never use it so this more than compensates for any loss of space. Looking at
a couple other installs, including Richard Jones', and the cover he built
for his, the loss of space seems minimal to me, especially in consideration
of the improvement of living comfort.
