Go to a sheet metal or HVAC shop and have them bend you up something and then paint it. Probably far cheaper.

I bet it wouldn’t be! The heater, fuel tank, pump and that red cabinets is only $280. That’s just over two hours of shop rate and no material, latches and handles.

These heaters good enough to sleep in a enclosed trailer or you leaving the door open a crack for the cougars to get in and snuggle?

Haha maybe you're right, I'm not sure. My neighbour works in the sheet metal fab and so I get all that kind of stuff for free, so my perception is sort of skewed....LOL

Yeah, separate air inlet and exhaust, drawing from outside and exhausting to outside, closed combustion system so hard to gas yourself unless you don't seal the exhaust well enough.

Is it like putting your defrost in your truck on high for noise?

No once they are up to the set temp they idle right down. The fuel pump can be noisy when it is on high fire. Go on YouTube there is lots of videos on them.
