The Atwood must be modified (sheet metal trimmed) to fit properly into
the cabinet, even then it sticks out about an inch. The one in the photo
is actually Troy's in Alaska, I haven't installed one myself. There are
other choices, just not cheap and/or imported here: The excellent Truma
units from Germany (I contacted them, they seemed uninterested in the US
market!); Webasto and Espar both sell excellent diesel- and gas-fired
heaters that are even smaller in size than the Propex. Even more
expensive but worth it in the long haul.
