Hi! All, We are in the same boat. My son's condo in Bay Area has a Suburban DCF30M that is now 35 years old, defunct and we can't get any help from Suburban, we have contacted them several times. These units were designed for RV use. The current unit is installed between the ceiling joists of my son's condo. (Floor joists of the unit above.) The current unit is 13" deep, 13 1/2" wide and 32" long. Does anyone have any information about a natural gas unit that would replace this and fit in the same space? A mini split is not an option as his condo complex doesn't allow anything outside of the condo. I have a DCF-30G & DCF-30GC manual if that would be of help to anyone. Hope to hear from you.

There are some videos and also some links on the page shown below. https://www.google.com/search? q=NEVER+FEAR+brand+fabric&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS913US913&oq=NEVER+FEAR+brand+fabric&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

@youXHome interiors Thanks for the suggestion! I see some good practical benefits to that approach, but I'm not sure how well it would work with a more contemporary aesthetic like I have planned. It also puts the people facing in to the kitchen sort of far from and below the people in the kitchen they're interacting with, but probably not enough that they couldn't comfortably talk. I am going to see if I can fine a similar layout in a contemporary style to see what it would look like. Edit to clarify: I can easily imagine the banquette itself (and table and chairs) in a contemporary style. What I'm less sure on is the integration with the island.

Thanks Ken. A dozen or so years ago was when the labs started selling full flats of tissue cultures retail directly from them. I used to get tons of them through that Yahoo plant co-op group. They were about half the price that they sell them individually today. Peoria Illinois has the Central Illinois Hosta Society but I am not an in person club type member. They have 200 members. A decade ago the woman I was referring to used to be on Dave's Garden when that was the online place to be for Hosta talk and swaps. More than likely I will end up ordering plugs from nhhostas.com and go for their free shipping plus 15% discount for orders over $300. as they are reputable. I also have the retailer https://www.hornbakergardens.com/ an hour North of me which is a very wonderful place to shop in person plus they do a great job with bare root online orders.
