SuburbanSince 1947, Suburban has made the furnaces, water heaters and cooking appliances that bring the comforts of home to RVs, manufacturing from its longtime base in Dayton, Tennessee. The company began with gas space heaters and entered the RV market after adapting a greenhouse heater for 12-volt motorhome use, a practical origin that still shapes its focus on RV climate control, water heating and indoor and outdoor kitchens. Suburban became part of the Airxcel family in 1998 and remains one of Dayton’s largest employers.BELTSVILLE, MD
