[A/S] Re: Furnace

Maybe I should be keeping a log of replacement/repair on this A/S.... 
but I havent.  I THINK the old furnace was a N30 or N32... was 
16,000btu.  The new furnace is a NT30S @ 30,000btu (or there about).

Did you use the original exhaust on the 
> outside of the trailer?  

The original intake/exhaust holes in the ourtside cover were "off" 
about 5/8 inch. With a bit of tin snip(aviation type)work, I enlarged 
them(to move them) to requirement, built a "back-up plate" to sit 
between the coach wall and the one-piece exterior air-intake/exhaust 
fitting. This "back-up-plate" covers the portion of the "original" 
holes that arent needed(covering-over) and its edges extent past the 
edges of the exterior air-intake/exhaust fitting by about 3/8 of an 
inch... you dont know its there(unless your a member of this list).

Our furnace sits under the kitchen sink, on the driver side. It 
exhaust's inside hot air directly out from under the sink into the 
coach. The only "return air" that we have is a 4" X 5" duct that runs 
under the floor from the furnace "can" to an opening under the front 
couch (next to the H2O pump).
