How to heat a Class C during the winter.......

You can install a marine heater in a boat so the same can be done in an RV, It is basically the same all you need to do is make sure that it is well placed and there is nothing that can catch fire, specially on the roof.

Several years ago there was someone living in a schoolbus heated with a wood stove, all winter, not far from where I lived. It was a bad family situation but the young man made the best of it and pulled himself up by his bootstraps. People do what they gotta do.

a friend of mine was a tree faller in the mountains of eastern Oregon and he put a wood stove in his TT several years ago. he used left over tree limbs for fire wood.

I've seen a wood stove in a car. So, putting one in a RV would not be difficult.

If you did it carefully, you could heat the rig and power it down the road at the same time.

There is a member,Its_Hondo that has This Type in his small Class C.

But I cant find the threads that he did on it. Looked kind of dangerous,he said that it worked well.

Unforgettable Fire sells the Kimberly wood stove which is intended for vans, towables and motorhomes.

It is expensive.

Very expensive.

$4000 expensive.

However, it is a gasifier, and from YouTube videos of people using them, it can keep a van safely warm with very little wood.

I like the idea of it... but since I live in Texas, I am far better off with a Truma unit that runs from propane, or if on hookups/generator, running a Vornado fan-forced heater.

I'd sooner go for a Platinum Cat than a wood burner though... unless propane was so difficult to get that this was an issue.

The question is.... "How to heat a Class C during the winter......."

Answer.... drive it south until it is not cold any more....

I saw one on TV where the wood stove was in the back of a pickup bed, and feeding gas to the engine!

Personally I would rather have a Olympic Catalytic Safety Heater, but that is me.

I have a buddy that had a wood stove in a VW bus. Kept it nice and toasty. One night returning from skiing he put the two drivers side wheels up onto a guard rail of a bridge. I was in back with the wood stove. I realized then, if there was a accident one would not want to be in close proximity with a hot, heavy wood stove.
