The stove is the smallest one I could special order at the hardware store.
http://www.berndtwholesale.com/osc/cata ... d=17121450 it puts out plenty of heat for the small, leaky bus even when there is an ice storm outside. Its bolted in and I put up a fire barrier and tile. I would never have the wood stove going while I was on the road!! That would be pretty crazy. The chimney has been a bit of an issue, I have hit a few branches with it, but the benefits out weight the drawbacks by a longshot. The solar panels are thin cell panels, they are very expensive, but I got them used from a friend who works at a solar company for free. I feel you on the projectile issue, its taken me quite a while to get a comprehensive checklist of things that need to be strapped down or put away before taking the bus on the road!.
