Furnance is one better?

[T-Oliver]

Finalizing the details of the build with Heather.

 

Atwood furnance (+$350)

 

Suburban furnance  (Std.)

 

Is one better ?

[J-Rhett]

My standard works great.

[Try2Relax]

Hmmmm.. I wonder why they don't do the Truma combi..

[Bruce W]

I didn't know there was an option.

What model Atwood is it? Is the Atwood furnace quieter?

[Raspy]

My standard one works fine and it is not loud.  Partly, probably, because they are ducted.

Was not made aware there might be a choice. That said, are very happy with the standard unit. It is quiet compared to some we have had in other units. Only improvement we would like is more heat delivered to the bathroom. At 42· out, and wet and using navy water conserving methods it can be chilly in there...

Pull the vent off and remove the limiter, it makes a difference. We also closed off the port under the bed with white duct tape.

<p style="text-align: left;">Reed, what is the limiter?  What does it look like?  I hate to ask stupid questions but that's how I learn.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Thanks!</p>

Use a screw driver if needed to pry off the vent (right side of the pic) or just reach thru the vent with your fingers and pull. Then the flow limiter is the thing on the left. I tossed ours into our junk drawer, never to be used again :)

 

Then just push the vent back into place, it will click in and work like normal.

Reed,

 

Thanks for the explanation as well as the pics showing the items.  It looks like an easy fix.

 

Safe travels..

[Bruce W]

Does the Atwood furnace have any advantages over the Suburban?

[Commanche]

I'm not sure why they even have that limiter, took ours out it too, it's in the junk drawer. One of these days I'm going to throw it out, takes up valuable room for other junk.

We're happy with the standard furnace.  It was the only option when we ordered.  It's pretty quiet and warms things up fast.  Mike

The standard furnace has worked quite well for us, too
