So, we recently purchased a 67 Frolic cab-over trailer. In reality, its more like a "template" for a 67 Frolic, because it is going to need a total frame up restoration. We haven't jumped into the project yet, but I'm starting to do some planning. The trailer came with an original Peerless (LP) furnace. I like to keep things (close to) original and I like its vintage look of the furnace. But, I don't know if it's worth saving. I'm not sure if its safe and it takes up a lot of valuable real estate. One down side to removing it though, is that it guarantees that I will have to replace at least part of the aluminum skin. The furnace has a VERY large exhaust on the street side. Removing the furnace will leave a very large hole in the skin. Should we keep it? Furnace 2 by pdalber, on Flickr Furnace 1 by pdalber, on Flickr

If it works keep it. I take the heaters apart and if there is too much rust and corrosion I toss it out.
I like the Wave3 for camping in the South and suggest a Wave6 up north.
Check out some of the threads on this subject.

I say keep it if it works. If it doesn't, you can take the exhaust out and frame for a small access door. Works like a charm.
