Subject:Re: Propex heater or regulator

I would caution messing about with regulator adjustment without having a
water-column gauge handy. The fact that it had been working fine to this
point means the regulator is probably adjusted correctly. Turning it out two
turns would drop the pressure significantly, BTW.

Re: the comment that a Suburban heater 'fits': I'd love to see photos! All
of the current models are far too large to fit, and produce such a large
amount of heat that they seem ill-suited for van application.
