• Air Conditioner and Heater for Cargo Trailer
  Hey Harry! For an AC system on your 6 x 12 cargo trailer I recommend one of the following: -Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV23SR -Advent Air Low Profile RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 13,500 Btu - White - R32 # ADV45SR The only real difference here is the one unit is low profile. This has a lower capacity and is set up for a ductless system which is what your trailer will be. Keep in mind, these aren't approved for a cargo trailer and...

• Replacement for a SF-30F Suburban Furnace
  Hey Carl, thanks for the information! The Fogatti Quiet LP Gas RV Furnace item # FG55FR would be a great replacement option for your SF-30F Suburban furnace. It measures 18" deep x 8" tall x 22" wide so it's pretty close size wise. I took a look at the installation instructions for your furnace and the ventilation set up is almost identical. The Fogatti item # FG55FR is a 35,000 BTU furnace. It has four adjustable power levels and three heating modes. I do not have a 90° 5/8" UNF male...

• Would Suburban RV Furnace Door Work On Fogatti Unit?
  Hello Arthur, thanks for reaching out. Typically the furnace covers and brand and model specific. For example, the Fogatti RV Furnace doors like part # FG95FR is made specifically for the Fogatti water heater model # FG55FR. There is a chance the Suburban door would work on a Fogatti unit, but this is not something we have specifically tested. What I can tell you is the Fogatti door is 20-5/8" wide x 10-1/2" tall overall. So as long as the suburban door is the same size and has the same...

• Do Fogatti Quiet RV Furnaces Use Much 12V Power When Off Grid Camping?
  Hey Kevin, the Fogatti furnaces only pull noticeable 12V power when the blower motor and igniter are running. On average, you’re looking at about 7–8 amps while it’s firing and pushing heat. When it’s idle, the wired controller/thermostat draws a very small trickle - so little it won’t put a dent in your battery bank much at all. Where folks get surprised is if they’re boondocking in freezing temps: the furnace will cycle on and off through the night, and that steady blower draw can add...

• Does Fogatti RV Furnace FG55FR Have Vent Knockouts On The Bottom To Go Through Floor?
  Michael, the Fogatti # FG55FR is designed with top and side venting, but not a direct floor knockout like your 8535 had. That said, many customers adapt it with duct rerouting, especially since Fogatti offers multiple duct connections. If preserving the floor feed is critical, you may need to either patch and reroute or consider a Dometic model with a bottom knockout like # DMC74MR Are you hoping to keep the exact duct pattern, or is some modification okay? That’ll determine whether the...

• Which Fogatti Rv Furnace Is Easy To Install In Place Of Old Atwood DFMD35121 In Keystone Cougar?
  Harvey, your old DFMD35121 was part of Atwood’s 35k BTU line, so the Fogatti furnaces are right in that same output range. Dimensionally, they’re close enough that the install should be straightforward, with only minor trim adjustments depending on your cutout. If your current furnace has no door, go with # FG55FR. This will use the same vent layout so no worries there. If it has a black door, choose # FG45FR if it has a white one, go with # FG65FR. Do you still have the original door...

• What Is The Difference Between Fogatti FG55FR Quiet RV Furnace And Older Atwood Or Dometic Furnaces?
  Susan, that’s one of the big perks of the Fogatti line, which includes # FG55FR. Compared to older single-speed Atwood and Dometic units, the Fogatti runs quieter thanks to its variable fan speeds and insulated housing. It’s not “silent,” but the drone you’re used to when the furnace kicks on is much more muted. Many folks say they sleep better because it cycles smoother. Also, Fogatti is one of the only furnaces that include a thermostat and controller wired for the wall so you can control...

• Can I Use Fogatti RV Furnace To Run To Multiple Vents In Toy Hauler Garage And Bedroom?
  Yes, Mark, the Fogatti Quiet furnaces (no service door on RV # FG55FR, white service door # FG65FR, black service door # FG45FR) have multiple duct knockouts so you can run lines to different zones. Just be sure to size your ducting properly so you’re not starving one room while blasting another. Do you plan to run three or more ducts, or just a simple front-and-rear setup? You can find adapters online or at local RV and sometimes hardware stores (we don't carry them but check out the...

• Does Fogatti RV Furnace Come With Thermostat And Controller? Can It Be Used With RV Thermostat?
  Alan, the Fogatti furnaces actually ship with their own wired digital controller that doubles as the thermostat. It lets you set temperature, switch between heating modes (turbo, sleep, normal), and even monitor BTU output right from the wall panel. If you’d prefer to keep or install a different thermostat, Fogatti built in a blue-wire connection point for that, but you should only use one thermostat at a time. Their instructions recommend contacting Fogatti first if you go that route,...

• RV Fogatti Furnace For 28' Cougar Camper In Freezing Temperatures In Montana
  Cheryl, the 35,000 BTU output of the # FG55FR is designed for exactly that. In a 28-footer, it should keep things toasty even in single-digit nights, provided your insulation is decent. The variable fan speeds help it maintain comfort without short-cycling. One tip: make sure your ductwork is sealed up and your return air isn’t blocked in any way shape or form - those two things make a big difference in cold-weather performance. Do you usually camp with shore power available, or do you...

• Can Fogatti RV Furnace Run Safely While Traveling On The Road?
  Teresa, just like Dometic and Suburban furnaces, the Fogatti units # FG55FR, # FG45FR, # FG65FR are designed to run when the RV is parked, not while driving. The propane supply and ignition systems aren’t meant to stay lit on the highway. So you really don't have any option to heat the RV/travel trailer when on the road, unless it's a motorhome with built-in heater that runs off the engine. Do you do much winter traveling on the move, or is this mainly for overnight heating? The Fogatti...

• Can Fogatti FG45FR GF65FR Quiet RV Furnaces Be Installed Horizontally Under Dinette Bench?
  Tony, good question, these furnaces are designed for horizontal installs, which is how most RVs use them under benches, beds, or cabinets. The key is to maintain the required clearances for ventilation and make sure the ducting and propane line are routed cleanly. Mounting vertically is generally not recommended since it can interfere with airflow. Do you already have ducts in that bench area, or are you planning to cut new runs? That’ll guide how straightforward the install will be....

• Replacing Furnace In 1992 Cobar 5th Wheel With Suburban SF-30F Rv Furnace
  Carl, you’re on the right track. The Fogatti Quiet Furnace # FG55FR is a solid replacement for your SF-30F. The dimensions are pretty close - 18 inch deep x 8 inch tall x 22 inch wide versus your Suburban’s 20.25” x 7.6” x 17.75”.

  Hey Steve! The closest replacement for your Suburban is the Fogatti Quiet LP Gas RV Furnace # FG55FR. This is a 35,000 BTU furnace that can be adjusted to 17K, 25K, and 30K as well.

• Different Color Door Options For Fogatti Quiet Furnace For Keystone Travel Trailer
  Dave, the # FG65FR comes with the white exterior access door. If you’d rather have a black door, you’d go with the # FG45FR. And if you don’t want a door at all - say your RV has a vent cover but you actually service the rv through a cabinet door inside the rv - you’d go with the doorless # FG55FR. Functionally, they’re the same furnace, so the decision comes down to which matches your trailer’s exterior. Let me know what your setup is currently like!
