Because of the difficulty in doing an annual cleaning, we no longer use
Suburban furnaces. The Atwood "Hydraflame" units have a door on the
outside to access all maintenance. Plus we have found a 24,000 btu Atwood
pumps out as much useable heat as a 30,000 btu Suburban. The unit is much
smaller and after the mods to install it it is a much nicer package. Get a
digital thermostat, get rid of the spring back there and the thing is much
more user friendly. Cost is what it is, did someone tell you a motorhome
was going to be a cheap thing?
Works better for us, this is what we do.
Oh and the same holds true for the Atwood LP water heaters. They have one
that is electronic ignition, AC and heat exchange. Can crank all 4 sources
at the same time and make hot water fast!

Jim,
Have you posted any pictures of an Atwood heater installation on the Pose? I’m curious which heater you’ve chosen and what it looks like installed.
Thanks,
