clc900 10-02-2003, 03:58 PM I am looking for ways to heat my enclosed trailer. For short one night trips we are thinking about saving ont he hotel costs and just sleeping in the trailer. Whats the best way to heat it??? Propane??? My friend has a kerosene heater to heat his garage but does put out a little bit of an odor. Is this safe or are kerosene heaters dangerous because of the fumes????? What about propane??? Thanks! michahicks 10-02-2003, 05:02 PM Best solution I've seen is to install a regular forced air RV heater. A little pricey maybe, but you don't have to worry about freezing, or waking up in the morning... boss hoss 10-02-2003, 09:49 PM what you really need is a small propane fired unit called a =sunflower=.they're cheap and run on 2$ tanks(16.9 oz).it's a catalytic heater and they work well. TheVintageIdiot 10-02-2003, 10:13 PM just don't tip it over! dooitslow 10-02-2003, 11:37 PM Catalytic heaters will fill your trailer with moisture vapor. Get a RV style that vents outside. And also GET A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR! Spend a little more now and be dry and safe. Deadman 10-03-2003, 12:55 AM Anything that DOES NOT have a "Chimney" that is vented outside, will Poison you. Carbon Monoxide poisoning! Burning fuel in a small trailer, is not a good idea unless the fumes are vented PROPPERLY! I guess I would rather rent a room instead of worrying about not waking up! Do the Doo 10-03-2003, 01:30 AM Deadman is a smart man. But a RV heater/A/C unit is the only way to go do to venting. You need vents! HonksRX-1 10-03-2003, 01:42 AM The guys are all right! DO NOT USE IT IF IT'S NOT VENTED!!!!!!!!!!! You could use the propane for heating the trailor to do repairs, or to melt the snow and ice, but don't sleep in there! PLEASE!!

Electric heater use huge amounts of energy{watts} to run though.It takes a large expensive generator to do the job.And RV furnaces aren't cheap either. And you still don't have a shower or a crapper or a bed. Rooms are cheap.Get a room!!!! skidoomaster 10-03-2003, 04:27 PM The generator and electric heater is not that expensive... Electric space heaters are cheep and I got an extra coleman 5000w generator i will sell you for $350! :D Deadman 10-03-2003, 08:24 PM Originally posted by skidoomaster@Oct 3 2003, 02:27 PM The generator and electric heater is not that expensive...

Who in their right mind could sleep wih a fricken briggs and Stratton running 2 feet away from the Trailor? NOT ME! :0: PolarisNut 10-03-2003, 10:05 PM LOL, I usually stay in a $60/night room with 2 buddies. Thats only 20 per person per night. Thats plenty affordable. Beds,showers,crappers...and TV. There were a few nights last year that got down to -15*F...I'm glad I was inside. | ||
