I hope I don't get scolded again but I had a 35,000 Suburban furnace loud and obnoxious and the fan motor stopped so I replaced it with a 25,000 unit thinking it may be quieter which it isn't. After seeing the complexity of your heating units it seems extreme to replace these for a twenty year old coach. I had always heard they are the best heating system but repairs seem to be intense. What is your overall opinion of them? My unit cost me $450 to replace. Is the Aqua-hot worth the price? Thanks for posting the pictures.

Tim, I'm kind of like you about AquaHot. I have ordered 3 new Dynasties, and one HR Scepter; all without AH.  I don't spend any time in cold weather, so am not interested in engine preheat.  We are almost always are in a full hookup campground, so we have power to heat water.  I agree that the furnaces are  noisy, but in the environment we are normally in, we just use space heaters with thermostats built in.  We let them run all night if necessary.  I know that there is a lot of support for AH, but it has not been of interest to me.

I made a replacement for mine out of aluminum.  Not too difficult.  Used the old one for a pattern.

I'm not sure of the Splendide model in my '06 Scepter, but the complete door was available a year ago.  About $150.00 if I remember right.
