Pros and cons for these two brands of furnaces.

I'm looking at the Suburban SFQ-25 and the Atwood 8525

I like the mounting on the Suburban better, but would cut a hole for the Atwood.

Either way, I moving it to under the couch.

Input appreciated.

Yes

I'm due for paint in February, so I can set it up any way.

I don't understand the differences between the two.

I see the difference in the 2 is servicability.  You need to keep the guts of a furnace clean and you should check it out every season.  This means it's "diver down" to get to that Suburban.  It's a simple matter to service an Atwood from the outside panel.  Also, I really like the digital thermostat.  Shhh, don't tell anyone but I run the furnace while driving!
 
I install Atwoods exclusively,
