Pros n cons on camp stove installation

[PolSim]

I need help on wood burners in a bus. So far no one will install it for me. I will only use when camping. #2issue the place it will fit is over gas tank. Doh is that bad. #3 vent out window of roof. I do have enuff leaks. I see it is being done and we can do it. Just not sure what materials to use and hubby has cops and is on oxygen another duh. Help

Open flame with an oxygen tank? Seems like a really bad idea. Would be a no-go for me, personally. My mother had copd and was on oxygen and they had to have an electric range instead of natural gas.

I agree with Drew - open flame and an oxygen tank is a bad idea.

I wouldn't worry about it too much over the gas tank (especially if it's a diesel.)

Not sure about where to route the chimney - lost of people go straight out the roof because it drafts best (too many bends/curves cut the draft.)

There are flexible (silicon?) boots for your roof penetration that work quite well.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Dektite-Silic.../dp/B0071C0E6A

As mentioned above. A straight shot of stove pile will draught much better than one with a couple of 45s or 90s.

I had a brother who camped in my front yard for a year he used a tent (really small ) wood stove to heat a 35 foot camper and it was at times 90 degrees in there. he ran the pipe through the roof vent. to heat a bus you will need a very small stove.

although I agree that o2 and open flames is not a good idea.
