I have a 5 by 8 foot homemade insulated trailer that I pull behind my Jeep. I live in northern Minnesota where it does get a little chilly. I took it out about two weeks ago when it got down to 20 below zero fahrenheit. I heated the unit with my 2000 watt generator and an electric heater inside that Drew about 1200 watts. It worked wonderful and consumed about 2 gallons of gasoline in the generator in a 24-hour. I kept the temperature at about 68 to 72 degrees. The beauty of electric heat is that it is totally safe. Running the generator also served to cook my meals on my electric skillet. Thanks for the great review and I love your humor!
Nice sounds great. I am looking forward to more cold camping. I just love nature. Thanks for the info =Cosmo Check my other

Good!! I'm really glad you reviewed that ceramic heater. I have a similar one. Got it at a yard sale for $5.00 and it is a super dandy heater but I wasn't sure it would do the job in a small camper with those kinds of temps. Now I know. Nice. Thanks.

Just so you know, the Pelonis disc furnace...I picked up a couple of them a few years back now, at Walmart...they were super cheap there...I think we gave, at that time, around $20 for each one. I'm sorry now that I didn't save them...but, we were using them when our regular wall heaters went out, in our home...we were in the process of changing out our heating source completely, but didn't get it finished by the time the cold hit...so, we used these...they keep a small space pretty warm...but, if you are in a larger RV, you will need a couple of them...at least one on both ends of your RV. I really enjoyed your video on this subject...you did a really good job!! BTW, I know some people that actually have purchased dehumidifiers, for their RV's just for this reason. A teardrop is pretty small already, so it might not be a great idea for the room it may take up. Take care and thanks so much for putting this video up for everyone to get a better idea how to stay warm in the winter in their RV's...😊

Pelonis heaters Hands down are the best you can buy.
The reason i know this i grew up very poor and lived in a drafty home. Nothing worked better to heat my room then that heater right there. Enjoy they last forever just one tip clean the filter regularly and take a flashlight in the front once a year while using air to blow out the debris the filter didn't catch or the efficiency drops tremendously.😊 hope that helps someone in their purchase.
I agree! Its my choice too! Thank You for watching. Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos

Good review. I concur. My next incarnation of heat will be the diesel parking heater. I've used every method you described and my favorite is the ceramic IF you have electricity.
There is lots of buzz on the diesel heaters. In my case I did not want
to introduce another fuel since I have propane. But for me the real show
stopper was the electrical consumption of the glow plug. ruclips.net/video/OjvcBiBAqMQ/видео.html

Great info. I haven't bought anything yet, but I am planning on needing heat. I have thought that using a small quiet generator and electric heat might be the way to go but I haven't found this much real world testing into how that might work. I had hoped the smaller heater would work, now I know better. Thank you for doing the experiment and sharing the results.
Thanks William. I would the standard tools for this problem. Measure the interior size. Calculate the square feet. You can look up how many BTUs it takes to heat that space. Then use an on line calculator to convert the BTUs to watts. That will put you in the ball park. I provisioned for the lowest outside temps I expect to encounter. -20F I am glad I did.I was on grid when I did this test. Off grid I use propane. Good Luck I hope to do more deep freeze camping this winter. Thank You for watching. Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos

Your right there is no one solution, everyone can tolerate different conditions, from bone dry to soaking wet.... Thanx for the test. I too find the propane heaters a little "wet". I've been using Walmart heaters. Thing is, I seam to get duds. I have replaced heaters about every 2 months. Go inexpensive but not cheap would be my advice.
good info..I had a peloris good little unit never in tent or trailer...but warms up a bedroom nicely...

Since you camp a lot in the winter, then I would recommend getting the Exped Mega Mat Duo 10 or 15. So comfy, adjustable, lightweight compared to heavy foam, insulated with R 9.5 value. It warms up from your body heat and reflects it back to you. Such a great mattress for cold weather camping! Also I use a wonderful electric blanket with Safe & Warm technology which is awesome and makes sleeping in super cold weather very comfortable. We used the exped, electric throw blanket and small heater in a 1987 Coleman tent trailer and slept comfortably all night. That’s saying a lot since we didn’t have a curtain to divide the tent trailer to just warm the sleeping area. The Exped would be mold resistant and easy to clean.
Thanks Marlene. I will check it out! The trailer mattress is 4 inches thick and once it warms up its pretty cozy. However I am always open to more comfort! Best wishes for 2022. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos

Dear Cosmo, that little white thing for 20$ is not all useless one! It have a great and efficient way of use: get with it under the blanket or in the sleeping bag and switch it on there! Within one minute you will feel as warm as in a sauna! One minute is almost enough, then switch off. If need be one can switch on for several more times if necessary in the night time. And even 10 times a night won't run down your battery.
Ha ha ha I will have to try that. Thank You! Happy New Year. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos

@@CosmoWeems that's almost an idea for a video: checking out the pieces of advice from feedback!
The way I suggest is a good one to heat up when you got cold, perhaps after a walk, especially if a rain hit suddenly or something like that. A car heater will take 10 minutes to heat up the engine, that you gas heater will have some time to heat up the cabin too, but that little 20$ beast under the blanket will start heating in three seconds. That's worth an experiment!

I have that pelonis disc furnace, 15,00 one of the first I tried, still running after 20 years, got in 1988, so well made. and it is also a fan without the heat, if they tip over they shut off, and they will never start a fire, and same technology that they use on the International Space Station someone said.

ahhhhhh its all good and worthwhile all you need is a 12 volt electric blanket...done and done..i have been teardrop camping since 2000 and we have used all kinds of things but really all you need is a good blanket a electric blanket is perfect 12 volt ones are the best for off grid..
Thanks Jason I will look at them. Any idea what the amp draw is?
i have a different one but this has the q&e questions and some one said they read the package and 50 watts is what it uses i think that sounds low but they work great,, they don't last more than 2 or three years.. i think we got one that does not shut off.. it may have a timer on it i don't know what we were looking for when we bought the one we have...www.amazon.com/Homeself-Electric-Constant-Temperature-Anti-Overheat/dp/B07KC46D6Y/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=16U74VY2PL431&keywords=12+volt+electric+blanket&qid=1550147644&s=gateway&sprefix=12+volt+electric%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1
1500 watts is about 5500 BTU's and is said to heat up to 150 square feet. I have a 1500 watt heater I use to heat a 20 foot travel trailer, about 160 sq feet comfortable down to 9* but runs most of the night when that cold. My electric I calculate to be about the same cost as propane, but with out going to fill tanks. I have a buddy heater also I use for some extra heat if watching TV or eating in the living room end of the trailer. Good info. Nice little trailer. I subscribed. Thank you

I prefer the oil heaters, the heat is constant. I have a little electric heater, similar to that cheap one you have, that is temp adjustable, but it gets too cold before it turns on again, it isn't constant, gave it to my neighbor
I mounted one of those pelonis heaters on the package shelf of my car. In sub zero temps it will warm the car sufficiently to melt the ice off of the windows. Also it is nice to get into an 80 degree car.

Many of those ceramic heaters use a component called a PTC heater in them. The neat thing about a PTC heater is it will only rise to it's design temperature. They make 12 volt 60 degree Celsius chips that are about an inch by an inch in a half size. I have been interested in putting some eighth inch aluminum plate under the mattress and attaching PTC chips to it. On a drive you could pull power from the tow vehicle and have a bed that is nice an toasty warm when you arrive.
Dean McCollom or get a 12v heating blanket for $30 and your bed will be toasty when you arrive and save you all the aluminum lol.
As well as you can heat yourself instantly if your cold at. Night.
They have blanket that have a 40 minute shut off
Think about using an electric blanket when you have access to electric. It will also heat up your mattress in no time too. You may already have one at home and they fold up and are easy to pack away. You could use your existing on-board propane heater to take the "nip" off the inside cabin air and then either turn it off or set it very low and then enjoy dialing in your desired warmth on the electric blanket.
That sounds like a good option. Thank You Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1.
When used properly, electric blankets are meant to lay on top of instead of underneath.
@@StellarFella -- Dah ... Thank you for pointing that out to all who don't own an electric blanket.
@@StellarFella haha...that's pretty clear for the blanket...however, you can also get heated mattress pads...NOT meant to lay on top a human, but instead underneath the human...
I think he meant it will heat the mattress BEFORE you get in bed
I tried a 250 watt "personal" size space heater - thinking that if we had a bit enough battery we could run 250 watts for at least part of the night - did keep us warm even at 0C / 32 F, never mind when it got down into the negative numbers.
Hello, Lots of options available I raised the temp from 30 to 40 with one small tea light candle (2 people in the trailer). One of my camping guests LOVES her hot water bottle. It stays warm all night is very low tech and small to carry. =Cosmo Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1
I suggest you fit a 12 volt underfloor heating. Its great inthos little tear drop vans plus slim line stone mica radiator are fantastic nice dry heat no moisture great for keeping warm.
How many amps does that draw and what does it weigh. I am off grid most of the time so electric is rarely available and battery is a poor way to generate heat. Propane is far more efficient
Probably in conjunction with either the built in HS2000 or the electric you could run the Mr.Buddy long enough just to get a faster warm up.
Ya lots of possibilities. I had not considered that Part of warming is the time it takes for the walls and mattress to heat up. I guess that would speed it, Thank You Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1
Top 5 tips for a van in a Canadian winger...RUclips. Canadien couple has found an electric throw powered by those lil cellphone batteries banks...run all night and they power them with solar by day.Just put in battery powered electric blanket on ebay?Check out their video!
Electric blanket? Dehumidifier? Terrific demonstration and discussion, thanks. Texas
I missed this. Those are options. I approached if from comfort factor. Teardrop is pretty small shelter. I want to lounge around not breathing water vapor etc. We work with what we have/like. In my case I prefer not to put the humidity into the air rather that use my power to dehumidify. The electric heater puts out no moisture and I put out about a pint overnight. This heater and almost all heaters require grid power if you plan on running them for hours. Its all compromise! Thanks for your comment PJ sorry for the delayed answer. Thank You for watching.

@@CosmoWeems Put it in the shredder and you will get pulp fiction. After all, we have a pulp fiction president.
I think the oil filled heaters are great. When you switch them off after you are done they still stay warm for some time. All other heaters never do that once you switch them off they go cold instantly you get maybe another 15 mins free heat from the oil heaters.
Excellent I have not tried one. I of course need a small one and wall space to place it.

All of the electric heaters have virtually the same efficiency. The only difference is if you want instant heat from like a fan driven heater or a more uniform heat that you get from an oil filled heater.

Do you run these things by electricity? I have the xl extreme my buddy pod I have a battery charged by my car driving. I don't think the pod has heat. What about tiny propane heater.
FYI? Youshirely Don't Need a 1500 watt Heater, 750 for that smal Sq Ft area should be fine, but you should give it 30 min to heat the place up.. Or Use your Propane heater to heat it from the Cold and then use your 750watt small elec htr.. that is what we do but in a Bigger Camper..
What is the advantage of burning my own propane when I have paid for electric at a campsite? The amount of heat watts needed is a result of external temperature, insulation and square feet needed to heat. None of the calculators I used agree with your recommendation.

Is age an issue? I dont like them due to the space limitations I have.
All you need is solar and batteries and converter and you can have free heat and ac for thing
I have 200 Watts of solar panels =Cosmo Check my other

New to your channel, really enjoying the videos. 👍 I will retire in two years and would like to travel like you. I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty with very low miles left to me by my father that would make a good tow vehicle for a teardrop. The problem is the wife wants something with a toilet and she can stand in? Could just leave her at home I guess.🙂
Many people use a porta potty and a small bathroom tent, you may enjoy the tiny teardrop forum www.tnttt.com lots of info there about teardrops.
If she's cute, drop her off at my house. I'll feed her😜
I'm running a Pelonis right now they are killer. Just dont leave it on you can bake bread in a room

Is your teardrop insulated? Seems like you should be able to quickly get a space like that heated if it’s insulated.
Trail is insulated on the roof only. Thank You for watching. Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems
1500 watts is the max that is allowed to be used with a standard 15 amp breaker, hence why so many space heaters you see are rated "1500 watts" and regardless of the physical size of the unit, the wattage rating is the only thing that matters. They type of heater is largely irrelevant in terms of heat production as converting electricity to heat is pretty much the only thing that you can do that's 100% efficient, (line loss, fan blowing air... it all dissipates to heat eventually... ;)
Having said that, you may want to experiment with an oil filled type. It will heat the space slower, since the oil in the heater needs to come to temperature first and there is no fan to circulate air about the cabin but they're also the safest type of electric heat source since they don't have any crazy hot surfaces that could start fires if someone accidentally knocked it over.
Thanks for your comment. =Cosmo Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com
The oil heater is a great one, but it's really not a fast heater... It needs so much more time, that you have to switch it on a couple of hours before, or you will get the cabin warm after midnight:)
I watched the video from start to finish. I observed 70 degrees come and go, there was conversation about things getting moist, but at no time did I see any lingerie...... Very disappointed. lol Other than that...... Great video and information!
Baw haw haw haw haw. This was the fumiest comment so far. Thank you I need a good laugh. Believe me I am working getting us what we both want. M. Butts - No relation to Hugh Jass are you? =Cosmo

Are you plugged in how on earth are you running electric heater and for how long if so?
I was plugged into grid power and I ran the heater all night. Outside temp got down to about -3F. I was toasty warm. 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘! ✅ Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweemsvideos

Do you plan to run long dipole or get your MFJ turner .and if your near water run a grown wire to the water use it as a grown plane for your vertical ,Grv5,,,Lol all hell pullout the us military air push-up assist tower ...lololololo. On a trailer wit a v-Quad. .stacked...Hell I don’t know what I’m talking a bout funny I would share that sorry

If you are using shore power, why not just go with an electric blanket?
I like to lounge around in the cozy trailer with a friend,. Its one of my favorite activities, =Cosmo Check my other

@@CosmoWeems well, slapping together usually makes great heat Bada boom.....
trick for cold -- keep a wool blanket in your car - not your trailer- and spread it on your mattress before turning in. You won't feel any cold through the mattress.
Have 2 very heavy Hudson Bay wool blankets on my home bead and they are wonderful. Very warm and VERY HEAVY, I love the feel of them weighing me down, The all night hug! =Cosmo
@@CosmoWeems try one under and one over - amazing difference!!
OK I love wool. How do you prevent itching if its just a sheet between you and the wool?
@@CosmoWeems never had a problem with a good high count sheet. My mother used to put wool blankets on the beds at the cottage when we arrived for weekend in the later months of Sept to Nov. And those blankets were very itchy since they had been used at the paper mill to squish out water from the pulp. But they worked.
@@CosmoWeems A piece of fleece is great to put on top of your bottom sheet an works great to keep your body heat in and to keep the bed from being so cold. I'm not sure what size you mattress is but a 2 1/2 yards piece will fit across a full bed so that may give you a reference point. You can also get a second piece as a top sheep and is nice if you use wool blankets on you as an addtional body heat trap and as a barrier from the wool.
A 500 watt electric heater puts out 1706 btus, a typical space heater is 1500 watts for 5118 btus. Your propane heater puts out 6500 just for comparison.

U should run a small metal flex tube from ur tow vehicle into a custom made port on your camper . As your traveling it would throw heat into it
Ya the implementation is more difficult than the idea. Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1.
"If there were two of us in here......", made me think about the advantage of having another warm human body in that small an environment. Cost wise. Definitely some pros and cons. However, my experience suggests that once you throw in the cost of dinners, transportation, and especially, attorney fees when the heat dies down, it would probably be, financially at least, not a wise thing to do.
Totally agree with electric heat being the best if power is available. Many, many devices available and probably impossible to beat in terms of cost and convenience.
Imagine what it would be like to have technology advanced to the point where that kind of energy could be stored after being collected by a solar panel or some as yet undiscovered/developed energy source to allow boon-docking with electric heat. We probably have the knowledge if some great mind or minds would simply go, "OK. Time to do it.". I mean if we can go to the moon or think about going to mars we can certainly find a way to heat a teardrop or Scamp without hauling large quantities of fuel.
I spend most of my time in the trailer "dry camping" no water or electric hookups. Its working for extended periods for me. Tool Lots-O-planing and calculating. Pick the right companion and its a pleasure to camp together, Thank You! Check my other

I have used a Kerosene heater. If running properly no smell, crack a window and it will give great warmth and you can cook small meals or snacks as well.
Yes kits of options, On Ebay you can find a Propex copy that burns Kerosene, It vents combustion fumes to the outside. You get clean hot air. Truck drivers use them and love them. They sell for about $200 =Cosmo Check my other videos ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/user/cosmoweems?sub_confirmation=1
Espar copy, not Propex. Propex would be more aggressive about stopping copying of their design. ;)
It took 90 minutes to heat that tiny trailer? I think you need to check your insulation to be sure your trailer is insulated.
Ya to get the mattress and wall all warmed up tool that long. It was 10 degrees when I got in there. Only the ceasing is insulated Walls are plywood covered with aluminum. floor is not insulated. I can not think of a single teardrop that is fully insulated. Thanks You! =Cosmo Check my other

@@CosmoWeems Wow.. you'd think the factory would fully insulate them. But I enjoyed your video. Cheers.
I recently purchased a 7x12 (plus a 2' v-nose) cargo trailer. I'm converting it into a camper to take the kids camping. I'm tired of tent camping. lol. I needed a cargo trailer.. and didn't want both a trailer and a camper.. so I figured I could convert it in a way that I can use it for both purposes. I finished insulating the walls last weekend. I'm moving to the ceiling this coming weekend.
Excellent I still tent camp but am getting spoiled by the teardrop. ENJOY! =Cosmo
Cosmo Weems I still tent camp as well. Mostly when I’m on motorcycle trips. But lugging around a ton of tent gear, cots, food, drunk, etc etc.. with a full family.. is getting old. The camper is gonna be a welcome addition to family fun.

Hello, I am dealing with putting heating on my teardrop and I would like to know your opinion about the called “diesel parking heater “ like this images.app.goo.gl/98T121hURR1qcrGHA. Is it the same that in your video you said that you don’t like? I Argentina there are not many options and this type looks a good choice. Thank you very much
Try a Chinese diesel heater
You try it, They are electric consumers. wont work in this trailer.

Your not very good with your heater in the usa come to europe where fuel electricity is expensive you will find very efficiant small heaters. 5000 btu is normally the lower range.
