I like the ceiling hooks, I was referring to using the heat valves as a coat hook. I would have someones knuts if that were my trailer.
I actually bought some spring loaded ones for the ceiling in my trailer but soon realized I was tall enough that a coat might not be the only thing getting caught so I have left them out so far.
Oh, I am LEARNING fast just what needs to be added to the trailer.
#1 item, CEILING HOOKS to hang all clothing to dry out.
#2 item, BIG FAN to circulate air from front to back and from top to bottom.
Trailer has a wicked thermocline in it and we need some air moving around to solve that.

I have one of these, they are wicked. You can rotate them to blow along the floor, point 45 degrees or straight up.

So, this morning we noticed some ice buildup on the side of the sled, seems the awning is catching water coming IFC the roof and channeling all of it to one spot.
Well, the photos of the ice made it look like a big deal.
Reality was, it all came right off with a couple good wacks of my glove.
Had absolutely NO impact on anything other than looking really wild!
I LOVE this trailer.
I just can't say how nice it was to have a WARM trailer every day at Togwotee and sleds that were MELTED out every morning!
I ran my little Honda eu2000 for a few hours every day to make sure the trailer batteries stayed at 100% charge, and ran the furnace in the trailer for a good 6 hours every day to keep everything melted.
I think with some better air circulation inside of the trailer getting the hot air DOWN from the ceiling to the floor the melting would have been even better. Will be working on that for the very next trip.

Continuing on with my review.
Lets cover the TRAILER HEATER next.
Last weekend I spent 4 days at Togwotee Mountain Lodge and had a chance to run the heater for many many hours!!
The heater sits in the front right corner of the trailer mounted to the ceiling.
It has two rotatable vents on the front which can be turned to blow air in any direction OR closed off entirely to force more air pressure into the rear ducts
It also has an identical duct on the right side next to the door.
Trailer air is recirculated through the black grill

Ducted Hot air runs over the doorway and first arrives at the Boot Dryer.
The boot dryer passes LOW pressure hot air through many small holes.
This works quite well on Boots, Gloves, Helmets and Balaclavas!

The heater is rated at 30,000 BTUs and is powered by 12volt DC coming from the in floor batter and runs on 2 external tanks of Propane that are mounted on the tongue of the trailer.
The tanks are well mounted on the trailer tongue directly behind the jack and covered with an insulated zip on cover.
Access to anything other than changing the bottles out can be done with the cover still in place.
With the cover off, the bottles are fully accessible for replacement or filling.

While I found the two 5 gallon bottles to be sufficient for a long weekend, Mirage told me that the support structure can also handle the next size larger bottles as well as the lockdown bars have two notches on each side to accommodate the wider bottles.
And the base that the bottles rest on is clearly wide enough as well.
