Karl, I know what you say, but the Atwood in my AW has been performing
flawlessly since it was installed in 1991 with no failures. Not bad. I
would certainly prefer the Propex, but it's not in the cards. What I
would like to do is get me one of those slick Mullendore TDI
conversions (if he would only make room for me!) and then I would add
that super duper Webasto cooktop heaters.......
