Huntin Camp Heaters
« on: October 02, 2014, 07:30:11 AM »
What type of heaters are you guys using in your travel trailers? 

Assuming that you are dry camping in the woods somewhere.

LP vent free? Vented?
Just use the heater in the camper?

Furnace in the trailer.

Or you could go old school and just light a burner on the stove.  :bdid:

+1 For the little buddy propane heater with the 5 gallon tank. Been using it in our tent trailer for years now

I also would say the little buddy.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I was looking at the LIttle Buddy's and also at the Olympian Wave 8.

A guy in our camp uses the Olympian 8 but man they are spendy for only 8,000 btuh's

I found my little buddy for $64 on sale to replace the same one that I had been using for the last 5 years. Mental note, never lend to friends who can't remember to pack it up after using and just leaves on table and drives off  :bash: has been the best little heater I've ever used.

Another vote for the little buddy heater.I found mine at a garage sale for $7 and i just refill the 1 pound propane bottles with one of these adapters i put the 1 pound container in the freezer of the trailer or in the cooler to get as cold as possible then just fill it with the big 5+ gallon container upside down.

Little buddies are great-been using them in both a trailer and cabin for years. Couple things I've learned:  if you use on a 5 gal propane tank, get a filter on them (available at Cabellas or most other sports stores).  Don't just turn them off when done, turn to pilot and then turn off the propane and let them burn out.  Cover them very well to keep the dust off the face when you are going to store during the summer months.  The small propane bottle with give you almost exactly 8 hours on low and 5 hours on high-I really suggest you convert to the 5 gal propane tanks for them or you'll be cold when you wake up if you use the high setting. I've used them on the high setting in a trailer when it got to -10 degrees outside and it kept the trailer very comfortable.

I prefer a hot young lady to keep me warm at camp and then to have supper ready when I get back after a long day. Will your little buddy heater compete with that?  :chuckle:

Actually we use the little buddy heater as well and have no complaints.  :tup:

I just ordered a Big Buddy, filter, and hose.  They didn't have any "hot young ladies that can cook" otherwise I would have went that route.

The battery operated fan will be nice,  if it actually works.

They are a tad more spendy than the little buddy, and for some reason, society frowns on the pay as you go plan.
