Congratulations! Sounds pretty reasonable.  You'll be glad you got the
furnace. I'm curious as to just how that rear hatch tent works. the picture
in the manual didn't show much. Does it have a floor? Does it stick out
past the door? Does it ride on top of the door?
Also, if you got the standard EuroVan awning, watch out for the rivets at
the central hinge - if they're loose the metal is soft enough to catch and
bend. I just did this - it still works fine but it needs to be handled
carefully when folding it up.
