This, of course, didn’t change where she wanted the fireplace. The underside of the table would be about 6 inches above the heater. Just above the cabinet area is a built-in, non-removable table. However, there was a “little” design feature of the 30T that needed to be addressed. Normally, you install fireplaces in places where you don’t need to worry about the heat. The Touchstone came with a small heater at the top. After some digging around figuring out where all the breakers were, I discovered the outlet was on a 20A circuit. The outlet powering them was accessible through a thin interior cabinet wall. In the back of the cabinet, there is a TV mounted on a televator. Of course, electric fireplaces draw power and motorhomes are not known for having excess power. Multiple flame colors and brightness, hi/low heat settings. Fortunately, it turned out to be a very nice unit. It needed to be less that the opening and depth and this was pretty much the only one I could find that would fit. The sofa is opposite the spot, leaving the perfect spot for early morning coffee or snuggling during a thunderstorm.Īs the title of the post says, I chose the Touchstone Sideline 28″. Remove the doors and center post of the middle cabinet and it leaves a perfect spot for the fireplace. On the 30T driver side, there is a countertop with cabinets at the bottom. There were several things I needed to figure out:

I knew it was just going to be a visual fireplace with maybe a little heat that we probably wouldn’t use very often.

Why not add one to a home on wheels? She even knew where it would go. We have added a fireplace to each of the two homes we have owned. It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows my wife to learn that she wanted a fireplace in the motorhome. I’m putting all this here in case others find it useful.
