Steve,

I like the Sigma 120 heater for a Tashiba 40, however, it requires an
exhaust vent and air intake vent. The exhaust pipe is supposed to be at
least three feet long. I don't have this much overhead in the location I
want to mount the unit so have not purchased one just yet. Is your Sigma
  installed with this much exhaust pipe? Do you also have the air intake
through the cabin top?
