Does anyone out there have an older Tow Low that can show a picture of the left hand side that I might be able to see what kind of heater grill if any that it has, or doesn't? Also would like to know how to post pics on this site so I can share what we have done with ours, maybe it would help other Tow Low owners.
On a rv heater you must use the factory venting grill because of heater using fresh air intake and exhaust using the same venting grill for the combustion chamber if you can't find one for your model of furnace you'll have to replace the furnace
Being the age of the furnace I would replace the furnace you may have a cracked heat exchanger and co2 is not something I would not want to mess with
If the grill is for the water heater or refrigerator any sheetmetal fabrication shop can make a custom grill to fit your application

Thanks for the reply. Almost all of older style RV heaters are made up with two parts; the inside furnace part with the combustion air/exhaust piece and the outside combustion air/exhaust piece that slides together. On some units there is a finish grill over the outside combustion air/exhaust. This may be the case on my '69 but I can't seem to find any pics of the left side of another unit. FYI I wouldn't be to quick to condemn an older heater. You can always leak check using soapy water and the heat exchanger can be checked when running with a CO detector.

throw a smoke bomb in the burn box check for leaks. seriously that's how they do it. if you have a nice blue flame going you are ok to go. you don't want yellow flame. I have always used a 1 burner proropane stove for my heaters in winter i'm still here 55 yrs later. just slightly open a small window. just to be on the very safe side.
