Trailer propane heaters

What are you guys using for your enclosed trailers? Im looking for a catadyne style such as they use in the oilfield that is explosion proof.

With fuel from the sleds i dont feel comfortable using a sunflower or herman nelson.

Dunno know for sure but I think the most reasonable one might just be an RV style heater! Thats what we are planning to put in ours. They're small, easy to install and easy to add options to ie boot dryers etc.

Check out Catfish Supply on the Net. They have an 18K btu propane w/fan. Low oxygen shut off and it is vent free. Had one in our old trailer, worked great and just finished the install on the new one this weekend.

I have used a "little buddy" lpg heater from princess auto for 3 years...... Will use it in my new to me, used trailer for this year, then probably getting into a built in heater....... The little buddy did an okay job.... Never got hot inside, but sure took the chill off.....

i'd go with the catadyne heater you could probaly even get one for a verry good price some wear out in the field. I was thinking about doing the same thing with an enclosed trailer one day.
