Trailer heaters what are you using??

[Adrenaline Revolution]

I also use a vent free Blue Flame brand heater and I also bought it from catfish supply!
(Small world!)

Mine is a 30.000 BTU heater and I can never turn it up past 2...Maybey 3 on a scale of one to ten.
It cooks the inside of the trailer fast!
If I was to use it for sleeping in I would simply install a window that I could open a crack to get fresh air in near where I would have my bed.
Also, leave the vents open just a hair and install a CO detector for peace of mind.

A fraction of the cost of a Suburban and no need at all for batteries or a generator to charge them.

Here's a bad picture with a bunch of junk and snow tires stored in the trailer....

Do you, or anyone else, run these vent free heaters on the drive up/drive back? Or are you just running them to change and/or lunch?

I have a suburban propane 35k btu forced air heater. Works great and heats my 26' trailer no problem

Will you run that while you are towing/driving?

Yes I turn it on when I leave the house and drive on average 2 hours to where I ride and it works great.

I have run a blue flame style heater in my 25' enclosed for 8 years now and never a problem. I also have insulated the floor. Used urethane on the bottom side, works awesome. The trailer also is used as a camp trailer when I go elk hunting. Weather can be -10 degrees outside and 65 degrees inside. I always open the vent and crack a window.

Do you notice moisture collecting inside the trailer? Are you able to thaw out the sleds over night?

Thanks
