Additional disclaimer....I ain't trying to steal business from Karl or
sell any Suburban heaters to anyone.  I didn't notice that Propex was
imported by "one of our own"...Sorry Karl..

  I have no idea how expensive these Suburban heaters are or even if they
are still available like the one in our fairly simple pop up camper.  I do
know the one we have works just fine, has for about 10years.. and it's
worthwhile to know about.
