Dennis,

I have told tha tale many times, but the Suburban model is the one I had
installed right behind the back seat on my '98 loaf. Man, would that
little sucker heat that van. I mounted a thermostat on the door post
just behind the drivers head so it could be reached easily from the
drivers seat. The thermostat I had an off position and then on and burn
- all the way to the highest setting and anywhere in between. The heater
itself had electronic ignition, and if I was driving along tithe heater
"ON" and hit a bump - the flame might go out, but the electronic
ignition immediately fired the heater off again. It put out so much heat
that about a half-hour before getting off from work, I could go out,
turn on the heater, and when I went out to go home, all the ice and snow
were melted. No sweeping and scraping required. I sure did like that heater.
