I have a 27 foot enclosed trailer that I would like to put a heater in. Was wondering what every one was doing and what was working the best. Looking for a flat wall mount style and something that is exaustless. Looking for ideas or even if you guys are using some thing that is working well. Please share your thoughs or what you have found to work good.

the best i found was a wall mount forced air with exhaust vent going outside, i used 2 ,7 gallon propane tanks. you will need to have a battery hooked up also. i would go to an rv dealership. they sell and install heaters

I have a forced air furnace in mine, i'am set up to run off a 12 volt batt. or 110 volt, most of the time we plug the trailer in to run all the extra lights so its running off 110. I have two ten pound propane bottles mounted to the front of the trailer. It uses a typical thermostat mounted on the wall. I love mine it will get the trailer up to 70 degrees in 10-15 min most of the time.

I looked into this system. Its a diesel over 12/24 system. The biggest model is a 5000 ST which puts out a continuous 18,000 BTU. The quote I got was for $3,595. Is this correct? If so, ya it's a little expensive for 18,000 BTU. Unless I missed or overlooked something, I guess its back to RV heaters. Any ideas? Thanks. EW

I just put one of these in my trailer. Suburban 35k Btu.
Heats up fast and the price was hard to beat.
No condensation like some of the other types.
They have some different sizes available. Install was easy. Lots of great tips on the forums here about installation.

2 buddies have the 3500 st one trailer is a 27' mirage and a 27' charmac ... trailers are insulated....those heaters put out more than enough heat....
We are using the Espar D4, 13000BTU, heater kit alone was 1600 shipped from Ebay.
THis will use 0.13 gallons of diesel per hour @ full power. We had to build a fuel cell to sit on the tounge and used 1 Eon battery from Thermo King.
We used THermo King INtermountain in Salt Lake, Pictures to come.
This is the bomb setup!

By far the best bang for the buck is Procoms blue flame or red flame wall mount vent less heaters. you can get them in 25k btu or 30k btu and these things are way cheaper than any other heater. I just purchased a red flame 25k btu heater and it was $180 shipped. These are the only heaters all of my buddies run and all the trailers are big 4 places. Hope this helps

I'm going to try one of these barracks heaters. A guy I work with has one in a trailer and it works awsome, no power required. The downside is that you will lose floorspace.

was using a two burner heater which mounts to the top of the tank... didn't do much, but throw fumes inside the trailer. Going to a hydro flame 35000 btu forced air heater. This will dry out everything inside and melt the ice and snow on the sleds! i should have gone with forced air to begin with!
