What do you want for 40 grand?
Certainly understand that but reading about the vent pipe and possibly the center of the heater vent needing to be modified to make the heater work? That is in FWC to come up with a fix for that problem, which seems to be pretty prevalent especially at higher altitudes.craig333 said:Unfortunately FWC is too small a player to be able to put pressure on the manufacturer.
If you haven’t considered an ATC pop up, you may want to take a look. They’re similar to the old FWC pop ups, and pretty much bullet proof. ATC is known for custom work, and more importantly for customer service/focus… plus usually less expensive.Wyo4Life said:Certainly understand that but reading about the vent pipe and possibly the center of the heater vent needing to be modified to make the heater work?

The reason I even bring this up is that I am looking at getting a pop up and have it narrowed down to FWC and Hallmark. Just trying to do my due diligence.

They can't just put any heater (or other equipment) in a camper. The equipment has to be certified. I'm sure it's a libility issue and why you don't see them putting in some of the diesel heaters, etc.Wallowa said:Not "certified"? Could you elaborate; a new one on me.
Thanks...

I said they are certified and that they can't put in furnaces that aren't.Wallowa said:Understood...but where did you see that the heaters used in FWCs are not certified for use in RVs?
Wyo4Life said:There are at least a couple of other brands of heaters I am aware of being used today in RV’s today. Truma and Alde.
I don’t have direct experience with either of them but have heard really positive things about them. Maybe FWC should take a look at them if they have not already.
