So Let's Talk About Heating our Trailers.
Well, Been thinking about this for some time.
"How do I effectivly heat my Expedition trailer, Or tent rather. and not Die in the process."
I recently read where Martyn (or maybe the client did it) installed a marine type heater into an AT, Chime in Martyn, I know your reading this
After reading the article I got to wondering and thinking. Our trailers per say are compartmentalized. (Wow is that a word) so whats to stop a guy from comming up with away to simply ad a SMALL RV type heater.
My thooughts are this. Surburban Rv makes a compact 12v propane furnace that is used in tent trailers by varouis manufactures.
It measures, 9 3/8''H X 9 3/8''W x 21 1/8''D
Look Here: http://www.rvstuffusa.com/directdischargefurnacesbysuburban.html
What if a guy welded up a box and custom built this thing into it, so one could use a quick connect to the propane bottle, a quick connect 12v plug, and could haul it out when necessary, Maybe come up with a way to "Quick Mount it" Under the trailer when at camp so the exhaust is flush with the trailer. and route the duct into the tent.
It would be thermasticaly contralled as well.
It is a $600.00 item and not for everyone, But for those that it would serve. It seams it would work pretty well.
Im in the Pacific North West, and therefore Im in the Forested Colder climate.
Just looking for Ideas. I really Like waht Martyn did on that paticular AT put the unit itself was quited to me at $1,400.00: Wow1:
I would love to simply have a Zodi, But who knows what there doing. and they wont tell.
