yes, that's it, Harald and Nancy. The heater does not have a venting hood but seem like a back vented cabinet then exhausts down. I have questions about that system.
re: moisture produced when burning propane, I'm not going there again :) except to say you get more grams of water produced than propane burned. alistair

There were good pictures of that setup on Harold's webpage but that is now gone when Geocities folded. Harold and Nancy have been gone from all the lists for five years or better now. Their's was mounted behind the passenger seat on a wooden box/frame work and vented to the outside. That's the only one I've seen that was vented and used the bigger, taller version. I had the smaller, square unit, unvented, in the same palce on my '85 (installed by PO) and it provided heat but was a problem to light. Another friend had a newer one mounted in the same location and was pleased with it, also not vented. The only problem I've heard with them is the fact that they produce moisture and consequently condensation if not vented. |
