Fanless Furnace?

[Rick kl]

I had the same problem with all the heat up top, I tried a 12 volt fan but it sounded like a plane taking off, I bought a 12 volt computer fan from Princess auto and a micro switch. This is a picture with fan closed.

I just came across these direct-vent, fan-less, noise-free LP gas heaters (i.e. not ventless, and not catalytic - both intake and flue are outside) and was wondering if anyone had seen one working, or considered putting one in their trailer. I do not know if they are RV-certified (but would find out)... but as far as I can tell, this would be as close as you get from the good old fanless furnaces that manufacturers used to put in.

This is what I am going to look at. I was thinking of running the heat hose in through the electirc port and openning the hatch on that side to let the heat in. I have used a Mr. Buddy (the small one) but I was too paranoid to sleep with it on. (but when it got to NINE degrees, I needed something! The second night I apologized to my tent sleeping buddies and cranked up the honda generator.

I think that it is a seasonal item. I saw somewhere that they will accept orders again in the fall. It is really too hot here now to be thinking of heat! (Heat index is over 105!)

That's exactly the kind of heater we've (Casita owners) have been looking for... except for one thing. Did you look at the specs on it? It's way too large for most small travel-trailer owners (21" wide and 27" high and 4.5" wall thickness minimum.)
