Vent free?

Why not something with a heat exchanger so you don’t suck fumes or an open burner?

Suburban and atwood are for sale all over ebay. get one of those and a thermostat. itll be around $600 shipped. 30k btu is plenty adequate. and yes install a fire alarm and co2/co detector so you dont die. jus cracking a vent doesnt sound very smart. happy trailering.

Sleeping in an enclosed trailer with a “catadyne” (vent free) type heater is never a good idea..!! Even with a vent cracked, the risk of asphyxiation is very high.
Forced air or a radiant type heater that has the exhaust vented outside is all that should be used for a unit you will be sleeping in.

I use 35,000 or 42,000 Btu furnaces with a solid Laser cut box. Exterior vented so they're safe for sleeping compartments.

You can buy complete kits and install them yourself for $2,850.00 for the 35,000 or $3,000.00 for the 42,000 BTU furnace.

My kits installed are $3,650.00 for the 35,000 BTU and $3,800.00 for the 42,000 BTU.

The kits have the following:

- 35,000 or 42,000 BTU Suburban furnaces installed in the Laser cut box ready to hang on your trailer wall.
- 2 x 30lb propane tanks (which are full if picked up - empty if shipped -$40).
- 2 x 30 lb propane rack.
- Auto switch over regulator with 12" hoses.
- Samlex 15amp 110 Volt to 12 Volt charger to maintain/charge batteries.
- Wall thermostat with 40' thermostat wire.
- 2 x Group 27 Deep Cycle batteries with battery boxes.

These are the same products that I have used for the past five years on my installs and work excellent!

Thanks! :beer:

Have any pics of the kits installed? Inside and out would be good if you got them?

I posted 4 of the first page of this thread but I will put some more up. I'm also your neighbor in Cardiff so you can swing by for a beer one day and I can go through a whole whack of installs! LOL

I also do a Kickplate install for those who are interested and larger 80,000 BTU 110 volt propane furnaces for those big heat applications.
