Question:
The furnace in my 1989 Teton 5th wheel is a Hydro flame model 8241. What would you recommend as a replacement? It is enclosed in a cabinet between the kitchen and living room. I can send photos if needed. Thank you.

Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out. That old Hydro Flame 8241 was a solid unit back in the day, but it’s been discontinued for quite a while. What I recommend for replacing it is the Dometic RV Furnace # DMC98RR. It’s compact (16½? W × 7? H × 20? D), 30,000 BTU output, runs on 12 V DC and LP gas, and comes with the white access door so you can service it from outside. It puts out plenty of heat, and will hook up to your existing gas lines and ducting with just a few tweaks.
It should drop right into the cabinet but please double-check your cabinet dimensions to make sure it’ll fit properly in the space between your kitchen and living room.

Hey Steve, how did the fit go with the Dometic furnace in that cabinet between your kitchen and living room? It’d be great to hear if the dimensions worked out as expected. Your update could make it easier for the next person replacing an older Hydro Flame unit.
