Portable Propane Furnace Build

[awheeler]

Has anyone taken a standard RV type forced air furnace and put it in some kind of box to make it portable, similar to a Propex?

I'm looking at an Atwood Hydro Flame 12,000btu, only 1.8 amp draw. It's just going in the back of my pickup that has a simple camper shell. How feasible is it to connect the fresh air intake and exhaust to flexible duct so the unit doesn't have to be permanently mounted?

I don't have the furnace in front of me so I'm not sure how the fresh air and exhaust connections are designed to work.

I would say if your going to go out and buy a heater to make portable I would recomend going with a mr. heater brand portable heater instead. You can get one for under 100 bucks and they're well worth it.

I did a proplex in a tool box and works great.
