The Truma Combi is a combined water heater and furnace.  It is reputed to be quieter than any other options, and the space of the unit is the same as an Attwood furnace alone.  

 

I've lucked out trying to find a reseller.  I contacted Truma, and they said that the sell to "RV builders only".

 

Can someone prove me wrong on that?  I would love to score one of these for my upcoming Puma/Grandy build.

I too would like to find a Truma dealer. I'm going to Europe for work in June and will look around there and report back if no options in NA.

Vic, you might talk to a builder to see if they could order it for you. My guess is ATC would be more open to that than another builder. Worst that can happen is they say no.

They may require it to be installed by an authorized dealer as well.  Shouldn't be too difficult to find out.

The difficulty in finding where/how to purchase a Truma only serves to illustrate the difficulty that you will have finding someone who can do service, repairs, parts.

There are dealers in Gladstone and Sandy Oregon.  The Gladstone dealer is an Airstream dealer.

Given that I'm gutting and building my second camper, I'm not too worried about servicing.  Parts, yes.  Good point.

Overland Explorer (https://overlandex.com/contact-us) uses Truma in their builds.  Red Deer, so nice and close. Not sure if they sell to general public.

You may want to talk to Rory at Bundutec USA. He offers them as an option on his truck campers. The one in our camper is so quite that you have to put your hand in front of a vent to know it’s running. It’s very efficient also.
