Installed the Wallas 1300 today. Utilized the space between the aft facing seat and the hull. Built a bulkhead out of 3/4” plywood that it is mounted to. The fuel tank is in the box under the seat. Plan to install a remote start switch in the vbirth. Thanks for all of the advice on the install. Pics in the album. Ken

Sorry, not very proficient posting photos with the ipad

I know that there is some logic that a larger heater than needed is the way to go - maybe and maybe not. The 4k BTU that the little 1300 will take the chill off on most days except for the coldest days of the year. And if it doesn't, you can always supplement heat for a very reasonable amount of money. My stovetop wallas 6.5k BTU keeps us quite warm on most trips. And, if we supplement with the buddy heater (I don't run it while sleeping), it gets Africa hot in the cabin even when it is frigid out, like it will be in 2 weeks for the shrimp opener up here. As far as moisture and foggy windows while running? Sure propane makes some, but with a good fan, the wallas turned on high, and a cracked window, it really hasn't been much of an issue for me. I think you will enjoy having some heat Smile
