Modification ideas for boondocking
I've got some ideas and I thought I'd run it by you guys (gals): First of all I have an 2002 Arctic Fox 24-5N 5er which I plan on exclusively using for boondocking in the high mountain western sta...

Yes, the fan moves the hot air not radiant heat. The radiator was scrap from work, I just had to reweld a crack on it. I would think any truck heater core would suffice. I removed the old heater and shifted things around to get it fit. I use another unit for hot water, I searched for a suburban motor aided water heater since they have a heat exchanger built in but never located one, new they are ~$500 but it would allow one unit to do both jobs.
westend, we've camped to low 30s without any trouble keeping the trailer at 58*. The thermostat isn't ideally positioned so I think it gets a little warmer in the rear of the trailer(26' toyhauler) the way the airflow is directed. The only things I've done are lined the bottom of the trailer with coroplast and the wife made heavy curtains that snap to walls around the windows. My first rev used the water heater with a circulation pump to make a hot water loop, but all the junk from the anode/calcium kept plugging the filter up.
I was going to use a catalytic heater but we camp in northern AZ, generally over 7600' and it's extremely dusty.
