Electric heaters just use too many amps to run of a battery. However there
are good catalytic propane heaters that are safe to use inside a trailer. I
bought a small model designed to be used on small propane bottles. Got it at
Sports Authority. I believe there is an adapter that would let them be
mounter on a larger bottle. There are wall mounted units that can be built
into the wall of your trailer and attached to the trailer propane bottles.
Available at RV stores. No big job to install from what I saw. These are
safe for interior use but so are down sleeping bags and sweats! Have fun!

Okay (wonderful) Husband and I are discussing the up and coming ride we
will be attending.
I have told him a few unwritten rules about generators being used in camp.
After about 8pm shut
the damn thing off or we are going to have unhappy campers kill our
horses, string us up by the
toenails, beaten with a wet carp and tarred, feathered, and mudded. He
doesn't believe me. His
concern is how are we going to keep warm if the temp drops. We will be
staying in our trailer. It has
little insulation.  I told him we could run a electric heater until we had
to turn the generator off.
Well what about if it gets cold agian? I said we should have enough
blankets and clothing that we
won't have to worry...THIS COMES FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS TO SLEEP WITH THE
HOUSE
60 DEGREES!!!
Does anyone know of any battery opperated heaters??? any suggestions??
besides get a new hubby?
wish we would have bought those LQs now....pooop!
Carla (its 100 degrees out and I am in the house with a blanket!)

Haley (over here mom were over here!!)
Rob (I just don't want to catch a cold!)
