Combo water + air heater

[Kwest364]

Good combo water and air heaters that run off of GASOLINE? Can't seem to find any for gasoline.

Any combo water and air heaters that run off PROPANE?


Have a suburban RV propane heater, but it flies thru the propane and it's so loud. Nice to have 4 ducts and can multi duct around bus, but adds complexity and takes up space. Not opposed to ducts if water+air heater combo is made for that. Probably will just sell propane furnace. I intend to have a horizontal propane tank mounted for cooking. Current bus has 1100W solar, 48V, 5000Wh LiFePo bank.
I'll have to do some cost analysis of propane vs gasoline cost and more importantly, power usage and fuel usage. Propane furnace sucks fuel and power. A gasoline combo air+water heater, I'm assuming will use less fuel and power.

At very least, I'll get gasoline heater. Something similar to a Lavaner. I only really need heat in bedroom area. Probably

My use case: I'd prefer to run heater all night on low or let fan keep running as heat cycles on/off during duty cycle. I don't want it to turn off and on. Depends on type of heater I'll get and model and if thermostat present or not too.

I'm going to plumb into fuel tank.

Meh, on 2nd thought: doubtful to find any combo for decent price, and gas heater is dangerous and too pricey as well.

Think I'll just stick with suburban propane furnace and try to reduce the output and fuel consumption somehow.

you could use a diesel heater and a water / water heat exchanger and run a jegs cab heater for cabin heat...


there are various diesel fired coolant heaters that typically will warm the coolant up to 170-180 depending on the model...



using a water / water heat exchanger you could use it to heat your domestic water... a regular bus heater (essentially a fan coil) can be used to heat the inside of the bus..


I have several models of these ive tested over the years... my current D&E unit works decent .. i dont have doemstic on it I am using it simply to heat the inside of the bus when im parked or to heat the bus and its engine for pre-start in super cold weather... (pre-heatng the engine is much nicer to the engine).
