Suburban furnace

[Donna Adams]

Is a Suburban gravity furnace worth fixing? W difficulty, got it lit once, don't often need heat but like the idea of not needing elec or battery. It's vintage--1979 Acorn 13er (Scamp). Would a new thermocouple fix it & where would I find that? Mice got the insulation around gas/elec refrig (never used on gas, & elec didn't get cold enough), stove works really well. Of course all are connected in line. Considering removing them (I do like a cook stove), & having the additional empty space. Not looking for an expensive renovation at this time. Unsure where/how to terminate the one fixture (furn) if that's the best option. Guess I could take all 3 out, use a butane camp stove & lose the weight of the whole thing, not even have propane. (Like a Meerkat!) I appreciate the experience, humor & good nature in this forum! What do you recommend? Thanks.

yes it is worth it. Spend some time searching via google, and learn the various problems people have discovered and fixed. I doubt its been just one fix.

A PO of my trillium removed the gravity furnace. A trailer with a furnace is always worth more and more useful than a trailer without a furnace. Gravity furnaces are no longer made, so keeping what you have is the best option.
