Handi Heater???

A few more malapropisms to ponder:

He had to use a fire distinguisher.
Dad says the monster is just a pigment of my imagination.
Isn't that an expensive pendulum round that man's neck?
Good punctuation means not to be late.
He's a wolf in cheap clothing.
Michelangelo painted the Sixteenth Chapel.
My sister has extra-century perception.
 
Ok- I went out to Wal-Mart and purchased a Mr. Heater buddy for about 75$. It works very well. (for heat) Im able to bump around in the cabin with a t-shirt on in 20deg. weather. The one drawback is that it gives off a fair amount of moisture. It needs all windows cracked just a little bit to vent the steam. The floor stays cool despite the heater cranking. I still need to monitor the CO ppm. Its on my to do list.

I use a Coleman 3000 BTU Catalytic Heater that I added a computer 12 volt fan to. The fan draws very little current add does a good job of circulating the heat. The unit comes apart and folds up for compact storage. On a 16 you don’t have much extra room. With the camper back on and outside temperature in the lower 40’s, inside temperature is nice and comfortable. With the 16 oz canister it will run 7 hrs on high. No moisture buildup with the fan running, but with the 16 you don’t have an enclosed cab. I have photos of it in my Boat Projects album. They are near the end of the projects album.
 
Dave-

Clever use of a simple heater in a limited space!

My only thought, since you're using this within the somewhat ventilated confines of the canvas which should vent the moisture and other benign exhaust gases, is to be sure the fan doesn't blow on the catalytic burner itself, which might lower the "combustion" temperatures enough to create some carbon monoxide.

Don't ya' just love those little useful computer fans?!?!?!!!

I sure do.

I have a couple 7” fans from an old server I had. I will make stands for them and use them for cooling in the summer.

As long as I keep the fan blowing on the back of the converter, I shouldn't have a problem.
 
Good work, Dave (all of it)! You got time to re-wire a CD25? :lol:

Pat; from following your post and looking at the pictures of your boat, I’ll bet you don’t have a wire out of place on Daydream. Thank you for the complement. However if you are serious, the Daydream would have to be brought to Swantown Marina in Olympia, or our warehouse which is about ¼ mile from Shawntown Marina, or my farm which is on Michigan Hill, SW of Rochester. I try to never go North of the Nisqually River by vehicle, unless it is absolutely necessary.
