That should work well. Most fish houses are set up that way. Sometimes there is an issue with road spray (from hauling fish houses on salty, sloppy roads in the winter). However, most are set up like that. If you find that you cannot position the furnace so that the vent reaches the outside wall and the front of the furnace is exposed to the trailer open space, you can set some of these up with duct work, and that works very well. You can block the main air exit on the front of the unit and attach 4” duct on each side of the unit and run it to where it is needed. We have done that in fish houses and that works very well. However, the easiest is to set the unit so that the exhaust reaches the outside wall without modification and the front of the unit is blowing directly into the space to be heated. These things really kick out the heat. Put the thermostat on the back wall and you’ll be all set. The do chew up some battery when running because of the fan, but you likely have a generator or some other power source going already I am guessing.

From: David Coudron Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2018 2:26 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Propane heater It doesn’t really stick out past the outside wall. The whole heater sits on the inside of the trailer with a double walled vent tube that goes through the wall of the trailer. . The only thing on the outside is the grill, but you have to make sure to set the heater inside so that your vent/grill is in the right spot outside. It gets very hot when the heater is running. The grill/vent is only about ½” think on the outside of the trailer. The furnace itself will stick into the trailer quite a bit. These work really well if located in the bottom of some type of cabinet inside the trailer. You really only need access to the front cover of the unit.

How much of it sticks through the wall?

It brings it up to temperature in no time. It is attached to an outside wall, and combustion air and exhaust go in/out through a couple of dedicated vents. The only thing we don't like about it is that the fan is a bit loud.
