I've got an Everest Heater that is now made by Atwood in my
adventurewage. Ed put them in just about everyone he made from the
60's-91. In the time the design has changed very little and they are
still one of the largest makers of them in the US. Parts are easy to
come by and service can be done by yourself or just about ANY RV
camper place.
