Hi folks:

Just noticed yesterday in Go Westy's newsletter, that their $67,000 syncro has an Atwood furnace in it.  I checked online, and it appears the unit is 12,000 BTU and has a cutout of about 8 x 11 and apparently will fit in the cabinet beside the fridge, although one does need to cut the side wall for venting. Price is less than $400 with free shipping, which puts it about $600 less than the outrageously priced propex. The amp draw appears to be about 1.8 amps, but it wouldn't drain most backup batteries overnight.

At the moment, I'm using the Zodi hot vent, which actually works fairly well but it's hardly convenient, as you can't run it overnight and no thermostatic control. It's rated at 20,000 BTU but,  did not overheat the interior even after running for four hours at about 40 degrees. How do you guys get by with 7000btu's Propex's?

Anyway, has anyone installed one of the Atwood furnaces? Comments good or bad?

Thx,

Troy
