Dear Vanessa,
I am familiar with the Olympic units. They are very good and I might end
up with one. But first I would like to make the Everflo below my kitchen
cabinet work. It appears in good condition. There is a thermostat attached
which causes the Everflo fan to go on but the pilot won't light. Outside
the unit there is a square vent plate which has many screws and caulking. I
have been avoiiding removing this plate. Underneath there is a gas line
leading to the location of the Everflo BUT there is a split earlier in the
line to an OPEN gas connector with a simple shutoff valve. It is right
inside the door.
I have not a clue why such a gas line would exist but when you open the
valve gas comes out. If I every did go to the Olympic unit the gas source
would be a no brainer.
Gas is one system that I would rather leave to the pros.

Depending on the size of you trailer,
you might consider an Olympic catalytic heater on the end cabinet in back of
your front door. It uses about 1/4 the fuel of a furnice, is much easier to
install and cheaper to buy. It does not put out harmful gases because the
heat it puts out is below the cumbustion point. Just crack a few windows
open to make sure the oxygen is replaced, many of us Vinties have been using
them for years. There's nothing like coming home after a cold days hike and
warming your cold feet in front of the glow. And Beleive me the Olympic
heater will heat your whole trailer. Just make sure you have the roof vent
farthest back in you trailer open and the heat will ciculate through your
whole coach!
