This thing looks good. I think many boondockers have been waiting for this.

Heats the RV,
heats the domestic water,
operates from LPG or 230VAC,
uses less than 2a on LPG.

I have no idea of the cost but it must not be too bad if some manufacturers like T@b and Roadtrek are installing them.

Anyone ready to get in line for one?

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

This system is for SMALL Rv's. Anything over 20 feet, it will not do the job. Doug
