Hi,
Andy has carried with him a Carlson floor heater. I don't know if it was original. I recently removed it. I would like to test it to see if it works as well as check for CO2 build up. I do have and use a CO2 detector with my 85 pop up.
How would I go about testing it? I have started clearing out the dirt and spider webs. There is an elbow connection coming out the bottom where the gas line goes connects. Any simple ways to hook it up to a large or even small propane tank.
I like the idea of having heat in the trailer when dry camping which is most of the camping we do. We have seldom camped with shore electricity. My 85 pop up has a propane fan driven heater which we have enjoyed when camping during cold nights in Mammoth and at Joshua Tree Monument at Thanksgiving when it gets down to 32" degrees in the trailer. We would just run that in the evenings and turn it off when sleeping.
I have a Coleman Procat heater that I could use instead of a floor heater, but when the darn thing burns, it emits a chemical smell. I have run it about 10 times in that last 8 years and the smell comes back every time. I don't really like using it because of the smell.
Thanks
Rod
