[A/S] Replacement heater

[Mike Keith <mkeith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

The time has come to order a heater for our 26' Argosy.  As I understand 
the heater BTU requirements, it is 1000 BTU per foot of trailer plus 2000 
BTU.  I don't remember where that formula came from (maybe Jackson Center) 
but it works for the heater that is missing as the cover plate that managed 
to stay with the trailer is for a 28,000 BTU heater.  My question is; is a 
larger heater better or worse?  I can get a 40,000 BTU Suburban NT heater 
for about $200.00 less than a 28,000 BTU heater.  The shop that sells so 
cheap does not handle the lower BTU heater.  We need to have the heater 
install by the end of the month as we are going to our son's graduation 
from the NCO Academy in mid February.

On a different subject, we run with the Refrigerator on all the time as I 
have some medication that has to stay between 36 degrees and 45 
degrees.  We have never had a problem.
