Hi Eric - I am pretty excited. The heater will be installed where my old
hydroflame used to rest in the lower section of the cabinet between the
fridge and water tank. This furnace is fueled by gasoline - which will
give me more propane capacity for the fridge & stove when I am cooking in
the van (rare).
