No, seriously, I often have to reign in my impulse to figure out a home-made solution when there is a cheaper/better/safer off-the-shelf alternative.
Having said all of that, please do bear in mind that I prefaced my initial exploratory post with the words "wild idea." I was aware that this was a long shot and have since been persuaded.
Not pointed solely at you, but as a general theme every fall/winter for many on this forum. Seems like fall/winter folks start dreaming of the perpetual machine and find creative ways to not spend money heating... although often at the risk of their safety.
How about this thought though..
Hydronic system, get an extra water heater fill with RV antifreeze, run pex loops under the trailer and use a small low power 12V solar water pump. Gives you tank heat plus you could run extra loop into the RV living space and use a finned baseboard water heater....
