Does the Propex furnace work consistently at high altitude? Our typical camping elevation is between 9500 and 10500 feet.
I'm looking to replace my 1980's circa Duo-Therm direct-vent 9000 btu furnace in my old Skamper. I tried cleaning everything up, put on a new sail switch, and replaced the worn gaskets, but after one good fire-up, it now sparks but will not ignite. I have cleaned out the gas line, too.
I've read about all the heating alternatives and I am considering forking over the big bucks for a Propex. Those who have them, seem to love them. I don't want the Wave 3 or Mr. Heater Buddy due to headache-inducing fumes, safety issues, and vapor buildup. I rather doubt the quality of the RV furnaces that I might find to replace what I have. I'm warm in bed under pseudo-down comforters and a hat on my head, but I want to take the chill off while hanging out before crawling under the covers, and it's also nice to heat the space a bit before crawling back out in the morning.
Thanks for letting me know if there are any issues with the Propex.
