[A/S] movable catalytic heater



A few weeks ago, some one mentioned that they used a small 12 volt 
fan to move warm air from their catalytic heater towards the rear of 
their trailer. I had this idea. I have a 31 ft. AS with the catalytic 
heater just inside the door facing forward towards the front of the 
trailer which is only a few feet away and no one sleeps there. I 
mounted the heater to a peice of .125 alum. plate that is hinged on 
the isle side. That allows me to turn the heater 180 degrees and have 
it face towards the rear of the trailer and the rear bedroom. I 
removed the ridgid copper line just above the floor and replaced it 
with a looped flexible gas hose. It allows me to turn the heater 
without kinking the line. But more importantly, I have radiant heat 
going towards the bedroom. The cold nites are setting in here and I 
will soon know if it gives the results I want. Go to the Photo 
section and look for an album called "movable catalytic heater"
