Has anyone on the forum had any experience with the diesel powered heaters? My PO removed all traces of propane powered appliances, and I have no heat, range, or oven in my coach. The water heater has an electric element installed. Camping in November was a chilly experience using only two small electric space heaters. They were unable to reach 60 degrees inside during the night. I am installing a 1500 watt in wall heater with blower in my dinette wall next to the entry door, but that won't get it done alone. I know diesel heaters are commonly used on boats with good effect, and I am seriously thinking about installing one under my jack knife sofa. These heaters will run on battery power. I will utilize the duct work path Coachman used, except I will have the heater up front blowing toward the rear instead of the factory furnace in the rear bath. I will put the fuel tank out front behind the steering column and in front of the left tire. Has anyone used one of these in their GMC?
