I am looking for some advise on what size diesel heater I should put in my 6x12 CTC which is well insulated. I have decided to plan/prepare to go to the RTR and etc. in Quartzsite, AZ area just after the New Year and then maybe head a little further north towards Vegas area after. I plan to camp exclusively off grid on BLM land. I did not go last year due to a family emergency 5 days before I was suppose to depart (a death and then Covid exposure quarantine), so Lord willing, I will try again this year.
I really have no idea what size heater to purchase... as I can't relate that the BTU's on an AC. I did leave space for the heater in my build and I'd like the smallest to do the job without it struggling, but not overkill either. Also, I'd like to cold weather camp from time to time so it need to be capable of northeast cold possibly.
In any case, I see 2KW, 5KW and 12KW units galore. I am thinking 5KW as middle of the road, but 2KW are advertised for cars/vans... and this space is not that large and insulated all over. Please give me your thoughts and advise.. thanks.
BTW.. any of you going to RTR or be in the area around that time and would like to meet up? Let me know.
