Subject:      Re: Heat while camping??

I recently installed a propane forced air furnace in my EV, the furnace itself is about 9"x9"x22" it is 12,000 btu and available from camping world. I have taken this thing on extensive camping trips and it id outstanding, we were never cold. There are no hot parts to burn babies. The vent is about 3"x7" and chrome, It is exactly the heater found in the new winnebago EVs. Best of all if you already have propane it is a breeze to install asuming you have space.
