all great points,
the sooting is easy to control, leep the airflow proper throught them and once and a while run them full blast for 15 min at the end of the trip. so still might have to do a cleen once and a blue moon but its fairly simple, 4 bolts and its seperated and ready from the videos I have been watching. might be a few more once its mounted and not just sitting on the bench.
I have had to clean the furnace on the camper every time I have gone on a trip where I had to use it. think I got the last of the bugs now.... every time I drove it was dislodging more **** bugs so this time I took the burner apart and cleaned it out. works great now, just tired of the noise and tempature swings.
yes High altitude also contributes but the few I am looking at are high altitude capable.

they do have finer control, which is why I am trying to figure out what size would be the best, you want to oversize them a little so they run on low all night without shutting off, but if you get to big of one they will cook you out even on low.

I was reading about Alde, the down side is it ianst an easy retrofit, the camper almost has to be designed for that system, and it is very expensive and they dont like to sell people the parts so you can install yourself.
