Has anyone thought about or made a modification to put in a drip pot diesel stove into their TT for cold weather camping? I had a small one on a fishing boat that was entirely gravity fed from a gal tank and it heated the whole cabin and didnt need electricity to do it.

This would require a small stack and I suspect a lot of people wouldnt want to get any soot on their shiny rigs but for boondocking it seems like a good fit.

Just looking at some options/bouncing some ideas.

:E:E

Seems to me this idea is an accident just waiting to happen.

Cheap in this case can turn on you in a bad way in a hurry.

There IS a reason as to why you don't see these in use in homes, autos, RVs boats and so on.

Regulating the oil "drip" is virtually impossible.

Oil changes viscosity quite a lot over a very short temperature.

To keep it from over firing you would have to constantly monitor and adjust the drip rate.

Why be so darn CHEAP :h

If you can not afford to spend a few $$ on running a proper RV propane furnace then you should not and have no business living or using a RV in the winter, period.

Your life (and others) along with your RV is certainly not worth risking a catastrophe :M

you must of used on of these before…
I had one I removed from an old trailer, and yes it heated well but was about as unsafe as anything I ever seen, and you are completely right as to why they are unsafe…
