Re: [RC] re Heating trailer dressing rooms. - Barbara McCrary
I was planning to answer the question, but
know little about heating, except a catalytic heater is dangerous. I was
going to suggest and encourage #3. A good warm sleeping bag is worth its
weight in gold. A nice warm husband inside of the nice warm sleeping bag
is the best. Or wife, as the case may be.

You really only have three possibilities
here.
1. Bite the bullet and install a good furnace,
including a good battery system. It is safe, but will wear down a
battery quickly. There used to be RV propane heaters that fit through
the wall, and used NO electricity. Last time I looked they were off of
the market. You possibly could find one in a junked tent trailer.
They were great. I would like to replace my furnace with one. Both
these are safe because, topologically* speaking, keep the fire outside
the living space in the "sealed combustion chamber".
2. Use a catalytic heater, leave windows open,
shut if off before retiring, and be very careful.
3. Purchase a really good sleeping bag and forget
the heater. We use Wiggy's bags (www.wiggys.com) He
has a system that has two bags that fit inside each other, thus you can adjust
the amount of bag to the temperature.
I really recommend 1 or 3.
Fire, catalytic or not, topologically* inside a small space scares
me.
