Hey Eric, thanks for stopping by! I recommend going with either the Dometic RV Furnace # DMC48RR for a 40k unit or # DMC38RR for a 30k version.
Both of these units have 80 square inches of return air, has a door for access outside the trailer, and includes the mounting brackets, duct adapters, and ventilation assembly.
Feel free to let me know in the comments if you need help with anything else!
