Thanks so much. That was REALLY helpful. I couldn't find the right part no matter how far I searched. That led me to the right one.
But....
I called them and they wouldn't sell me what i needed - they were wholesale only. They referred me to a local dealer, who just happens to be a crook.....LOL. I went in to see what he could do and he wasn't even interested - until I gave him an actual part number (from your link above). He was willing to order it, but it came to $455.00. Holy crap!. That's about double what the trailer is worth! I can buy a brand new complete modern furnace for less money. And of course the catalytic heater is cheaper.
Not sure what we're going to do yet. Sweaters and a sleeping bag are not the answer. At times we hunt in single digit temps. Sleeping is fine, but eating in 10 F temps is not conducive to good digestion. Maybe the kids and all will have to stay in the new Jayco...
