The Surbuban Furnace stock number is NT12s, this is a 12,000 btu
heater mane for small popups and campers and has a front discharge
grill ( i modified this to vent to two four inch ducts, one is moveable
and ducting is dryer hose.
In the EV I mounted it behind the driver seat where the little
fridge went. I had to cut a 9" x9" hole in the seat which it mounts
under and also through the inside wall, there are two 2 3/4/" holes
through the vehicle sheet metal.
I installed it all by myself (look ma no hands). This installation
required only a special sheetmetal hole saw and a sick willingness to
cut holes in your EuroVan; check, recheck, check again, repeat
infinitum.
The current draw is a dream, 2.3 amps, it will run for days on my
deep cycle.
I also installed a propane tank under the van, THIS IS HELL.
Requires massive interior dissasembly, if you own an older VW bus and
do your own repair work this is right up your alley.
This installation (furnace) seems to me that it would be easier on
almost any van other than the short wheelbase EV, the room is very
constricted, the main concern is access to the wall of the bus for the
exhaust & intake.
If Ive forgot any thing just ask. I will be out of town, I'm
leaving at 5:30 PM PST.
