Put in a suburban or atwood furnace.  I put in a 20k btu one.  I set the
thermostat for about 55 to 60.  Was amazed at how efficient it was at
heating and set at that temp uses a lot less fuel than expected.

I used a webasto diesel HL18 heater for part of one winter season and
removed it.  I found that at high altitude and 0 or below temps that the
diesel just didnšt burn very efficiently.  Made a better smoke screen
generator than heater.  The newer Webasto diesel units are far better though
but they are not cheap even used.  Used ones on ebay will usually close in
the 650 to 850 range for the small D1LC.

Ebay item 4583462600 is one of the newer types.
