Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I have looked at these a couple times and they are nice , but like any wood burning stove the clearance comes into play.....basically the stove front to the wall is 2 feet and the added weight of fire guard on the floor and surrounding walls plus loss of square footage to operate it makes it tough to justify it...not to mention the cost of firewood.

most coaches have foam insulation and wall coverings are thin , I worry about fire and distortion of the foam and fiberglass panels not to mention removal of ash and hot coals prior to leaving if the situation arose

Very interesting, looks really nice---has some potential --depends on weight, cost, and how much one might  use it.  Probably would take quite a while to get enough fire going to heat up a space, where as with the furnace one could (as you and Linda often do) run one or two cycles with the furnace and able to get by the rest of the day. However It may allow you to boondock in colder climate areas.  I don't think it's for me--but I can see how it would be attractive to some.

Hopefully Mrs. Bear II won't see these....I'd have to find room in the 5th wheel for one of these.

T've been looking for something to put in our patio for heat at our house. This is a nice looking unit and I like the idea of the radiant heat it would put out.

I have looked into them a bit, $3,500 is a little much IMO, even with the install parts. I am also curious about the BTU Claims, they also talk about producing electric.....I don't know?
