Installing wood stove in RV

Just remember that with a pellet stove you need electric for the hopper. Electric goes out in storm and you don't have heat. Wood burner as long as you have wood you won't freeze to death! :C

That all said I have never been in a house with a pellet stove.

But I can tell you I was 'on the phone' with a friend that had one in his house, and after talking on the phone for a few minutes I had to ask, "what the heck is all that noise in the background"?

It was his pellet stove! :?

I couldn't fathom having to listen to that all day and night and especially in the small confines of an RV. Just saying.

TO OP:
Why don't you just buy one of the Mr. Buddy Heater's that run off propane and you can hook those up to a bigger propane tank.

They even now have the BIG Buddy Portable. Heats 450 sq ft.

Seems to me it would be safer. Don't know how safe I'd feel with real fire burning 'inside' my MH with a wood burning stove. :W

One fellow (gas worker) on another post said he went through 30 lbs. of propane per day staying warm in the frigid winters of Wyoming in his 5th wheel. I would definitely have propane as a backup but I have installed a few wood burner in houses,& been using one in my own home for decades. Very safe, just have to use common sense..for RV, just down scaling would all that'd be required, and I think I can deal with the toasty nights & a little lost space as the fire's glow & gentle crackle puts these 'ol bones nighty night!
