Hey hey Miguel! As I often say, ya get what ya pay for. The Atwood, while inexpensive, it pretty crudely built. I got the one I sold you so that I could see one in new form rather than an old dusty used heater. I was rather disappointed to see how inefficient they are: 75%! So that means the stated "12,000 btu" (btu input!) translates to an output of 9000 btu. The Propex HS2800 actually puts out more. Less than half the space too. Better efficiency = cleaner burn as well. Wish I could sell them for less but the GBP-USD exchange rate isn't getting any better.
