Question:
I am looking to replace an atwood 8535-iv-dclp. My unit has the lp fed from the side. Your replacements listed appear to have lp on the top. Do you have a suitable replacement?

Hey Michael, the Dometic furnaces like the # DMC76RR do have the ability to have propane fed to it from the side as it has multiple cutouts on the sides and top for different orientations. What you have is actually called a vertical install and this specific type of install is covered in the included instructions.

Hey Michael, how did the Dometic furnace work out as a replacement for your Atwood unit? It sounds like the side propane feed option should have matched your setup. Sharing how it went could guide others replacing the same model.
