Dino does make a board for the Surburan (And Atwood) and here is something you might find surprising..... IN the case of several models.. it is the self same board for both units.
If your water heater is Propane/Electric you may need an adapter to go along with the control board (When I replaced mine I had to go with an Atwood, I could get the Dino board, but NOT the adapter, locally.. Stupid dealers only stocked half of what I needed)
On my furnace the board that fits it (Atwood) also fits many Suburban models.
Also boards are, I suspect, made in the USA (The board it self) and the assembly is in the USA, My Furnace board was very well built way better than the Atwood, also several dealers (100% of the service people I have spoken to) make the same comment.. In addition I have the creds to look at the design of the board.
I have a theory as to what killed my furnace... Seems Dino shares it cause they built in protection (lacking on the OEM) against just this kind of failure.
