Bought this as a replacement for a problemsome 8520_iv dclp. Mine was a ld ( lower discharge) with only a small intake/exhaust opening on the ouside of the coach rather than a large rectangular opening. This doesnt work in that application, nor can it be made to fit without carving a big hole in the coach as delivered. It isn't really conducive to being canibalized/ modified to work intact in my application, due to the length of the tube welded to the combustion chamber. This also has the gas inlet on the side rather than out the top. I was able to cannabalize what I needed to make the existing 8520 IV DCLP LD in my coach functional. My biggest mistake was going to the local camping world store for repair, having them making a TOTALLY incorrect diagnosis, and buying the reccommended parts first only to find out that wasn't what was wrong in the first place. If would have trusted my gut feelings and diagnostic skills, and came here first, I would have got the job done for $300 less. If you are going to tackle this have patience, good mechanical/diagnostic skill. Still really like AdventureRV. BTW do it when the Mrs. or small children aren't around!
