Drill a 1" hole behind the stove just below the body height of the stove so you can draw air in at that point then put a pipe in with a bend on it pointing up into the stove. Put a downward facing bend outside so when you are driving no debris gets settles into it. That will allow it to draw fresh air in for the stove and if you are sleeping in the trailer.

Great. I am impressed. I am looking to get a cargo trailer soon and have wondered about heating it. Thank U for this info.

I had a wall heater that had a exhaust center, intake middle, and outer safety barrier.So I never had any inside air loss or drafts. It was a nice propane and I had high mounted propane tanks with a auto switch over dual tank valve outside and a ⅜ copper tubing routed from the front high on the wall to the rear heater. The inside copper tubing absorbed heat to help the fuel vaporize. It was a insulated 80"x80" topper like on a ½ Ford 4wd with Firestone Air bags added on Michelin tires with very firm side walls. I used it as a sleeper when the semi was in the shop as the terminal was 160 miles from home. I had a tow bar set up so I could drive my Kenworth and then take the pick up home or to a truckstop with a cafe and showers if the Kenworth was done for days. The heater kept me warm and toasty.I had a twin bed tilt up with a small sofa area under the bunk for the dog. I had TV and etc too. A bucket camp toilet system. and 12 volt.120volt inverter stuff for food and drinks. Always carried lots of water. I had a shut off switch for the battery so I could go trucking for a month and restart the truck without a jump. I could park anywhere and sleep. No one Knew I was here. I had to make a heavy duty steel escape hatch as some clowns locked me in at the terminal. So I had a dutch door and and escape hatch. I had little crank glass windows cubes for air and ventilation. Being in Minnesota, I was not worried about air conditioning. The roof was heavy duty and I could still atop it and watch sporting events from a folding canvas aluminum chair under a sun umbrella. I had a little ladder I mounted for roof access with a grab bar to complete the climb.

You can line the roof of the trailer with solar panels and charge a battery which can power a heater on a thermostat. You can build a battery pack out of old laptop or tool batteries. 1 or 2 go bad but the other 6 or so have years left in them. You can buy some Samsung 25r 18650 for $4. Very easy to do at home and cheap.

Awesome. You answered my question b4 I had a chance to ask it. Ty I did however noticed something on your video which I thought it to be troubled. Hope you don't mind me giving you a useful tip. You had your fire extinguisher right next to the fire source (the stove) in an event of a fire it is human nature to run away. Perhaps putting the extinguisher at arms reach from the door (exit) would serve duel purpose. 1) escape , cause your life is worth a lot more than the trailer. 2) you can fight the fire from the doorway. Just my 2 cents. Ty for the video, I always wondered if a setup like that would be worth it. I like it .

Wow, amazing! Thanks for the hard work!

The computer fan is likely loud because it is off balance. If you rotate it while it runs, you should find a sweet spot and it will go quiet. If not, it is probably the bearing :)

That is impressive for a cold-soaked trailer with minimum insulation. We had -31°F last Thursday morning, the coldest ever recorded here. Arizona sounds great; I was based at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson in 1966-67 after Vietnam. I loved the desert after the monsoon in a tent at Danang.

Something you might consider would be the logistics of the heater in the trailer. As you mentioned the exhaust going up the chimney is being replaced by cold air coming into the trailer, in this case because you open the window but regardless it would find its way in there. If your stove had an outside source of air which many of them do and yours can be retrofitted to have it, I know for sure you would not be taking the air that is heated already in the trailer and sending it up the chimney.

Could wrap 6 inch insulation around those propane tanks , that def helps . Wrap everything in insulation in the cold winter. Water heater too.

@salbers

5 жыл бұрын

I'm wondering about the theory of heat flow here. Propane tanks draw heat from the air to vaporize the liquid propane inside. This is demonstrated by the more tank surface area the better they vaporize. Therefore the MORE surface area exposed to the MORE air flow generates more heat to vaporize and insulating tanks is counterproductive.

I like the stove. First I thought it's homemade .... I'll keep the thought also I don't need one I'm tempted to build one because it looks appealing.

Xcaliber Trekker So long as it is a 12V fan operating off a ~12-14V supply it will run fine for many thousands of hours (even junk muffin fans tend to have at least a 2,000 hour rated life, or about 3 months of 24/7 operation, and usually greatly exceed that figure). Muffin fans are available with a wide range of fan speeds depending upon how many cubic feet (or meters) of air you wish to move per minute, but the high volume ones are very loud as they fan is rotating at tens of thousands of RPM to achieve that airflow rate. They are really quite tolerant of abuse and are actually brushless DC motors. The simplest way to slow things down is to either buy a lower air volume muffin fan as a replacement or install either a resistor of voltage regulator inline so that they run at a lower effective voltage, which will both slow them down a good bit as well as quiet them considerably (even small reductions in fan speed yield large reductions in sound level). To give you an idea how resilient they can be, I once ran a 12VDC muffin fan off 120VAC for about a minute before shutting it down after realizing I had grabbed the wrong fan...and that 12VDC fan still works even after that bit of abuse (you would not believe the amount of air that fan moved at 10 times the voltage...I was surprised it didn’t start a hurricane!).

Mostly she is using white gas in some kind of stove, and getting a lot of help from townspeople. She won't go into a shelter because she has two small cats and two small dogs, and she refuses to leave them. Between bouts of arctic air, we have been getting clobbered with snow (over four feet in February alone), which piles up on the top of her van, melts from the heat inside, and seeps into the cracks of the doors causing them to freeze. Several times she has been trapped in the van. Fortunately, she has a phone and internet and she can ask for help on her Facebook page - so far somebody has always come to her rescue.

That poor woman, probably no money to move and a vehicle that doesn't run. Sorry to hear this.

Surely someone has a carport or garage or barn that she could park her van in over winter to keep the snow off.

Yep propane is good for winter heathing, butane for summer bbq'ing

Right on sir...blessings all around 😀

I've been looking into little heaters like that, not just for camp trailers and the like, but also tent heaters with a similar look and size. Yours preformed pretty darn good.

Yes, I think so! I had my doubts at the beginning.

Build a fire for a man, hes warm for a day. Set the man on fire, hes warm for the rest of his life.

Serious if propane is not working at -12F Alaska would be screwed. It stopped working at my house at -48F.

Propane freezing point is around -300 degrees but heaters, furnaces and such can start having issues working below -40 degrees. Its more the machinery than propane itself.

You too Walter, thanks.

You need a woodstove fan not a computer fan...works with heat that is all you put it on the stove that is all....

Add another inch and a half insulation.

I live in Chandler Az. Past several weeks have been crap in the Phoenix valley. It is now getting beautiful! Doors opened all day, still opened now at 9:30 pm. Better head here. Feb is usually the coldest month here. So it will only get better from here!
