Where in Alberta would a guy get on? Got new trailer and thinking about picking one up. If anyone has pictures of ones they got, I would like to see. I know I can get furnaces a lot of places, more interested in what cabinets/enclosures a guy can get.
Thanks

Any RV supplier or dealer. Atwood or suburban are most commonly used. Better to oversize it, depending on trailer lenght. But it sounds like you want to do the work yourself. My opinion buy a trailer already set up moderatly. Then customize it to you're likes. Time you factor in the costs installing everything yourself you aren't really any ahead of the game.

Just put in a woodstove in and be done with it...can't replace that soothing radiant heat...

or maybe even a pellet stove.


Went sledding a few years ago and some buddies were staying in their enclosed trailer, that heater quit working because it was so cold outside and the propane just didn't want to flow but I was nice and warm in my old motorhome with my woodstove ha ha. A few of them knocked on my door looking for warmth. Lol

You are joking, right?

I have an attwood here if you want to have a cabinet made or build a cabinet. Was going to put it in my last trailer, but sold the trailer and went to a smaller one instead. Send me a P.M. if you're interested.

Attwood 8531-III.

This spells asphyxiation. Hope you got a O2 and CO2 sensor.

Diesel fired air heater, way drier heat than propane, and no extra stops to fill up the tank.
