They sent me the wrong furnace

[shaun]

As the title suggests, I ordered a new Suburban SF-25FQ online and they sent me a SF-35FQ by mistake. I contacted the company for a return and they
told me to keep it (cost of shipping outweighs the price difference for them).

I intentionally ordered the 25 because we don't do any cold weather camping (nothing below freezing) and I didn't want the thing cycling as frequently
during the night. For those that have the 35, is it too big? Does the fan wake you up in the night? Does it use a lot more propane than the stock
unit? Am I overthinking this?

We put in an SH35 and it's plenty big. It works OK. Needed an additional outlet to keep it from cycling on the high limit. I'd get less less btu on a
do over.

Well, theoretically, the cool down time between cycles will not change,
since it's independent of the heating. Since the furnace has a higher
capacity, it won't run as long. So, because of that fact, it will probably
cycle a little oftener. Might be a hair more economical to run, but
not enough to notice. That's my experience on big heating systems, yours
may vary.

Gary, on the 35, IF THE 4TH DUCT OPENING IS NOT IN USE, the overheat switch
will cycle the furnace, not the thermostat. Then it is hard to tell.

I installed the SF-35FQ in my Eleganza. It seems to burn less fuel than the stock unit (Sol-Aire). My unit sets under the stove/range. It was about
the same size as the Sol-Aire unit but it did take some modification to make it fit. If your original is a Suburban it may fit easier. The "Q" means
quite, and it is. No way as noisy as older units. Very happy with it.

In my experience (limited) no, no, no, and yes.
