If you insist on using the Sol-Aire be sure you have a working CO detector in the coach and test it each time you need the furnace. Sol-Aire essentially got sued out of business for asphyxiating people with leaky burner chambers in their furnaces.
The RV furnaces have the burner chamber under pressure, unlike a home forced air furnace which runs the burner at less than outside pressure. Newer RV furnaces use stainless steel burner chambers which resist rust and corrosion. Sol-Aire used mild steel in their chambers and holes were a fairly common problem.
