[VAL] Heater
Hello List: Finally had time to have the 1969 Suburban heater checked out
by a local shop. I think I had my answer when I was putting the heater up on
the counter for the tech to look at it and a pile of rust (flakes and dust)
poured out the exhaust vent. This was a real pile, probably 6 inches wide and
2 inches high. It just kept coming! Anyway, the tech found several small
holes which were causing the small explosions at start up. Now to find a
replacement. Can anyone make a recommendation as to a replacement that would
come close to fitting the existing setup (under the sink, holes in the exterior
skin, propane hookups etc.)? Thanks as always for the thoughts.
