Default Hot water heater vent question.


Hello,
I just removed a propane hot water heater from a mobile home
and I need to replace it. This heater was in a small enclosed
space, and had a vent entering the bottom of of the heater
that went through the floor and brought in air from the area
under the home. The exhaust vents through the roof.
I saw a water heater the same size and shape at Lowes for
$259, but was told I couldn't use it since it took air in
from the side. The Lowes guy said the water heater I need
costs about $900, and I can't use the one that takes air in
from the side. Why not? It will still have a supply of fresh
air and still be vented through the ceiling, just like the
other one. So, what's the problem?
