| On a Airstream...dont't bother to try to get the whole unit out...the innards are all you want....I speak from too much experience! Suburban boards are junk, replace w/Dinosaur...same goes w/ fridge or hot water heater. |

Hope more people read the dinosaur thread.........I had a suburban board go out one month after warranty, so if you're replacing
the surburban or fridge/water heater, replace the factory card...I know it sounds nuts....keep the factory for "parts", I know youll never
need it. You don't want to pay again when the card goes. |

Well, it took long enough but we finally got the furnace out, it had multiple problems. Most of all it was loaded with the dreaded mud dauber nests (she was originaly from Texas) cleaned those out and with the addition of a new power converter it is finally working, just in time for the warm weather. Now on to the windows, we are replacing all the seals and tracks.
