[VAL] Fwd: catalytic



Whoops, I did not mean to send the message below.  But since I did, 
I'll finish the thought.  See below:

Wish I had one in this new unit.  In Oregon I was told by service 
techs that technically they were not even allowed to install a gas line if 
they knew I was going to use it for a catalytic heater.  Because they are 
"unvented" they are not permitted by some states.  But all indications I 
have are that catalytic heaters are safe, more efficient than furnaces, 
and highly reliable.  I have had one in both of my vintage trailers and 
loved them.  I will put another one in the next trailer as well!
