Alde hydronic furnace/heater-------- Has the future arrived?

I came up with the same Idea, but some folks say that the BTU's of the atwood may not be enough, then found the Alde system. They cost $3K but I found a dented one on ebay for less than $200. Just got it. I'm gonna play with it a bit before I install it. I may keep the stock water heater since it is (now) in the bathroom and this one will go under the stove where the current blast furnace lives. It will feed the kitchen sink.

I tolled with this concept alittle bit. I know of a couple that has done this with there smaller trailers and was amazed how well it worked.

Several on here have some things already working along this line...


My IDEA here...


Here is one install that worked great...


I know of a couple of designs using wall mounted heat registers in a couple of zones around the trailer - bath room being one...


I know of another HYDRONIC Install using tubing coils around the underbelly tanks to keep from freezing that works fine with circulating hot water.

Many of the big Diesel MOTORHOMES already use this concept with multi-heat zones...

I could setup my HOT WATER heater to do this for my OFF-ROAD POPUP for around $300 and completely do away with the propane fired furnace and very loud furnace 12VDC blower
