Heater, built in

I have it installed now, need to finish it off with the fake wood grain 'shelf paper' stuff.
Not an easy task to get a good cut and fit with basic hand tools on my tailgate, but it went in.
I replaced the grill that came with the Graingers heater with a basic return air grill, it seems to be close in grill openings area, I cut a hole for the dial thermostat control.
It's on a dedicated 12 gage circuit with its own 20 amp breaker, so it should be fine.
I added the outlet to the left, it will have 20 amps available when the heater is not on.
I need to clean out the basement, then hook it up to the junction box, will do that today, if I get around to it...retired you know
Now, remember, I'm not finished with it, some nails sticking out for easy removal, no trim installed, need the sticky paper stuff and all...

Does the "sticky paper stuff" match the stock trim pretty well? What brand is it and where do you get it?

VanMan, according to Michael; Snfexpress, Keystone dealers stock, or can get the exact 'paper' to go with your unit.

Ok - call me stupid, but I don't have 3400 and our Montana's an antique (2nd oldest in the MOC I think). What's that thing you had to move up? a speaker ??

No, Van Man that is the Vacuum. It is really a simple one, nothing behind it except the plug cord. You could stash it anywhere there is power available. The hose is long enough to even get into the basement, down the laundry hinged door.
Very powerful as well. We love it.

Oh, I was thinking, even if those of you who have the vacuum & don't want a heater, move the vacuum up, and put a door there, where I put the heater, you can store hoses and attachments there. Or anything.
