Hi Rinderciller,

Nice stove. I was reading up on the Salamander stoves back in 2019 while staying in a 300+ yo brick house in the UK. It sure could have used a few of those tiny stoves to take the chill away...

I am late to the game with this thread.
I have a 27 foot camper that I live in when at a property under renovation in SC. I always thought If I were to put in a stove, I wouldn't put it inside the camper. I would put some blocks outside and get to the right height. I would open a section of the wall of the camper or take out a window. I would build a small insulated room to enclose the stove with a door outside. I would service the stove from the outside and benefit from the heat inside. Original thought I had would have been to just remove the second door but I don't know if I would want to lose that access. Well I haven't done that and haven't been there in a couple years. When I am there, I just use a portable radiator type heater that has oil inside it. When alone, I close off half the camper by closing a door and only heat the bathroom/hallway and rear bedroom. That is easily accomplished on low setting. When I have a guest not sleeping in the same room, I open the door, put the heater on high in the hallway. But this is SC and it usually warms up pretty nice during the day and the trailer gets good morning sun.

Yeah those oil filled really stabilize the temp swings ( I’ve done a few weeks at a time jan -march in the past, in upstate NY) even a perfectly working forced air system needs that help ,
