Yes, we offer the fireplace in that unit. If you need a fireplace for your unit, you can get it from one of our dealers parts department.

Thanks,

fireplace 3100es

Got my fireplace, started to install, trying to figure out how to get power. Looked inside, after removing doors and to my surprise there was a 20 amp outlet inside of cupboard.Thanks.

I wish you guys would not post stuff like this mod... It makes it kinda hard to convince the other half other wise.... But we do live in South Texas,, so we really do not need one... We have a real one in the house and have not used it for 3 years... "Easier to turn the thermostat up".

Great looking install.

The third TV in the garage (26") can do double duty as a basement TV.

That picture above is a "photoshop". But I like th eway it looks and will consider it. The amp and subwoofer can both be hidden and free up the space

Well,we picked up our fireplace insert yesterday from Lowes.Now I need to get my dad over here so we can start the tear out of some of the cabinet where we are going to install the insert and then the install.I don't think it will be a real big job,but I also know you don't really know what you are going to get into until you get started into a job.My Dad is very good with wood working and I think his ability will make the job alot easier. I will take pictures as I go along and try to post some pictures.

TerrY, Just a suggestion for your install. I installed one in our Sundance 3200es about three years ago. I also installed a vent in the cabinet side to let air return to the back side of the blower. It made it much more efficeint.

Brunomisty,
Where did you get the fireplace and what are the specs if you don't mind. DW just 2 days ago said she wishes we had a fireplace in our Sundance.
Maybe a dumb questio ...is it gas or electric?
