camper heating options

[Grid Runner Adventures]

Hey all.

anyone have one of these in their campers



it is a diesel heater normaly used in boats. can go a looong time on 1 gallon of diesel. externally vented outdoors and gives you a nice little flame to watch during cold winter nights.

I had a diesel heater in my truck. Smelled like a diesel heater to which would be my only concern.

talked with some boat owners they said it was odorless its vented outside heats with convection

they have the same thing in propane too. i was just told the diesel lasts longer burn times then the propane ones. but i'll already have propane on the camper... so that would make sense too.

also they make a soid fuel model that burns wood,briquets, charcoal and such. its only 345 retail too

btw how is brampton doing. i use to live in brampton for 6 months before returning to the states. have you ever been 15 min west of town to the "bad lands"

i miss that place. all the trails through there.

if you get a chance this summer. go out there and cut a sapling down around 6 ft sharpen the end. and stand next to one of the crab apple tree's stick an apple on the end and fling it across the valley it was blast! heh they fly like rockets and explode on impact(tree's across valley)

The Snap-On truck that stops by at work has a diesel heater. He says he doesn't even have to touch the truck's heater up front except to defrost the windshield.

Ouch! $670 + $49.95 shipping! And, low is 5,500 BTU. It would run me out of my weekender in minutes!

I am looking to go for the solid fuel heater. It goes as low as 3000 up too 8000. Runs on small wood or briquettes and you can get 60 lb bag of walmart brand briquettes for 4 bucks around here.

The solid fuel one is also only around 300 for the stove.
