I'll pull the old furnace, and mount this in it's place.
Unless you have a VERY SMALL 20' or so trailer, doing what you are thinking of IMO would be a HUGE MISTAKE. A lot of furnaces are in the 30K+ BTU range and are ducted and replacing that with one 1/3 the size and non ducted is .... WELL Burrrrrrrr:E

I'm not so sure of that. I had a (I'll admit very small) once that was 14 feet long with no insulation. It had a old "gravity feed" furnace in it that was basically just a flame in a box. It worked quite well and I was bummed when it quit working and I found out I could not get parts for it.
It is true that a furnace without a fan would heat up the space much slower. But, once the TT is warm it makes little differrnce.
I've had, and still have, friends that live in houses with just a wood burning stove setting in the house. Takes a long time to heat the house up but, once warm all you have to do is keep throwing logs on the fire. You have to stay home all winter long though to keep the fire going and the house warm.
