HEATING An Enclosed Trailer ???

[pullhardr]

Did the Procom stop working IN MT?? What was the elevation?

 

[riskit]

We had the procom working up in lincoln, we sat in the trailer the trailer after snowmobiling for about and hour. Then i left the heater run all the way home it was about a 2 hour trip home because of the roads. it was nice and hot in there when we got to greatfalls so im am really impressed once again

IMO!! If you are going to use your trailer for sleeping, ALLWAYS use a forced air furnace that vents outside!! I believe that RISKIT started this thread to warm a trailer!! IMO there is not a safe way to sleep with any gas venting into a closed space. But of course, you could always start a campfire and use the rocks as a pillow.

I agree . Whats your life worth, a couple of extra bucks ? go with a forced air furnace. When I get home Ill try and post some photos. Its also nice to have hot air blown on wet cloths and gloves.

that is a fluid heat exchanger for using engine coolant to make heat

Atwood Furnace oin E-Bay

I would guess that at $345 this is a good deal:

Infrared

[/COLOR] And also im still looking for someone that can tell me witch one is better the infared or the blue flame [/QUOTE]

Infared from what I have learned, If you are goin to put sleds in and turn on heat. Blue flame can cause possible ignition. Infrared is safer against fuel vapor. I got a big buddy 18,000 btu for my 27' insulated trailer and it is poopoo, heats ua up, but, don't dry out the trailer. I am lookin towards the infrared

 

[elkhunter]

I also have the big buddy and do not think it does very well at drying things out or even warming up the trailer. I thought that the big buddy was radient heat that is why I was looking at the blue flame.

pro com works great the only time I get the smell is when the bottle gets low.

i think the blue flame is better just my opion heats my trailer great and also no smell in my either they do produce a little moisture, but cheap wait to keep tailer warm to have a beer out of the cold

 

[riskit]

who needs heat when there is no snow to even go
