Jill, you are right about several options. I wonder if some of these folks
read what they put up on their web sites. Case in point, I was checking out
the www.galicticsalvage.com site that Tuna pointed me to. It features a
Japanese made Paloma PH-6 for about $465 which is identified as suitable for
use in the pictured RV. But, then in the installation instructions it says
that RVs are a prohibited installation. Go figure. Also says any vibration
is also prohibited. All RVs I know about have vibration. I've also asked
them which is it -- can they go in a RV or not? I'll let you know what they
say on the Paloma model also.
