[VAC] Re: (Cold) Water heater - (Update 2)



I had my new shroud made of stainless.  The old heater was wider than the
new one, so I had to have something to fill the gap.  Took some doing as it
had to bend in several directions where it wrapped around the bottom of the
trailer.  The only problem with stainless is that it isn't really the same
color as the aluminum.  In many light situations, it almost looks bronze as
it doesn't reflect the same as aluminum.  During the day, looking straight
on, it's a pretty good match.  Looking from the side, particularly later in
the day it really looks different.  Not a bad option, but I would imagine
pricey.  The shroud cost about $100.  I expect the door would be very close.
