New furnace Dometic VS Suburban

I'm in the process of Remodeling my 2008 Winnie Access WF29T and one of many items I'm replacing is the furnace.
Do any of you have any feedback on the Dometic 30/35 BTU models VS the Suburban?
I do currently have a dual controller setup.
  • Thanks guys and Gals,
    I did decide to stick with the Suburban (It had one before) but went with the 35 BTU in place of the 30 it had before. After pulling out the old one I found an additional panel that had been removed (On top)causing the outtake to vent into the return intake, as well as a hose that was not completely attached to the furnace. this on top of the shape the components were in at the exterior access panel makes me glad I decided to replace it.
  • Most Atwood/Dometic Furnace have access via an external removable panel

    Suburban.....some you have to remove furnace from casing to access components

    Otherwise...they have same parts, same firing sequences, same - same

    If both models have exterior access then its a toss up

    **Both have had 'issues'

    Frankly I think it's a six/half dozen issue. in some cases if you need a new mother board and Go to Dinosaur boards.. Same board (FAN-50 for example) Fits both they are that much alike.

    In other models that is not the case.
