At least for a smaller space, I think one of these would warm up an insulated trailer fast enough that it wouldn't be worth the potential trouble of running while underway.
My last hurdle - condensation
- Thread starter TantoTrailers
- Start date

In my case I really have no concern of things freezing but may change if I get into some really brutal temps now that I have some motivation. I was able to warm things up nicely about 30 mins before heading into the cabin for bed, it was off the remainder of the day.
now, if only they made an AC unit that fit in a 14x14” fan opening!

Here is the non mobile version.
For that price its worth looking at. I doubt its terribly efficient, but at that price point it may not matter? It says no warranty support, and spare parts could be a challenge.

being the tech nerd I am, got 2 of these for more bluetooth radiation.
One will go in the galley to keep track of my fridge/heater/battery space and one will be in the cabin.

If that combo heater you posted uses an aluminum heat exchanger, it won't be suitable for raw water (coolant only). You would need a coolant to plate style exchanger (or water heater/tank) to get raw water heated.
Another option is to put a ~6" radiator in the heated air flow. This will let you heat raw water for bathing if desired.

What is the best way to maintain or “summer-ize” the heater for warmer temps? I won’t be using this heater much above 45* F. Is it ok to leave the diesel in the system or somehow drain it in the spring? I imagine it would see 6+ months of absolutely 0 use every year.
