On this trip I camp in a park whose name may be hard to pronounce, but is well worth visiting at any time of year: Kouchibouguac National Park in New Brunswick Canada.

NOTE FROM SLIM: I've received so many posts about Buddy and Wave Heaters I am filtering them out (I did respond to the first few). As mentioned in many videos, these are NOT suitable for long periods in sub-zero weather due to the amount of moisture they produce. I am only interested in DRY heat (non-electric). If curious, please see my review of a catalytic heater from a few years ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-81HLSv5Af-w.html Thanks! SP

Reconsider the Wave3. I don't notice any condensation in a 13' Scamp during Oregon winter camping. Just vent a window and you're all good. Not power draw, silent and lasts for a long time on low setting.

@jeffschaan4651 2 года назад

Hi. Slim . In regards to your heater / furnace situation I have a suggestion. Years ago I bought some used camper equipment out of a little motor home. The one thing I was most interested in was the heater . It is a catalytic heater , branded as " Thermx caravan mark 2 A . This is an old unit, I believe it was manufacturedin San Francisco. I us it to heat a tiny cabin I built to get away from the city . Like you , I constantly am thinking of alternative ways to use something. With just two long pegboard shelf brackets and an old bbq grill I can warm food and have a wood stove fan that keeps the air circulation going. One thing I want to do is put in a fresh air intake that will allow for air exchange. I have heated my little space last winter and I used about half of a 20lb. Propane tank. I am sure if you put your mind to it you could find a way to make something to work.

Most of your noise is from the fan and motor. Have you thought of replacing them with smaller quieter units, while leaving the rest of the system intact. We have a larger Geo pro camper, and the heater in it seems quieter and more efficient than what you have. It turns on and off without waking us at night.

We live in New Hampshire and (used to before you know what) go to New Brunswick often so I'm interested in new places to visit. We've been to Fundy but I've never heard of this park.

@williegetit8380 2 года назад

Hey Slim I might have a solution for ya. I'm a old deer hunter from Ms. and you might not hunt so you may not have heard of this one. I've spent several cold nights in deer stands, and complained to father about freezing my butt off waiting for sunrise, he shared a old trick that was shared to him years ago. What we did was got a old coffee can (the big ones) save the plastic lid, anyway we'd get a roll of toilet (full roll) and rubbing alcohol. place roll in metal coffee can then fill it with alcohol and fire it up. It sure worked in the deer stands, odorless, smokeless and put off some heat. not sure if it would work in a enclosed RV ,might test it first. Anyway when finished simply place lid back on to extinguish. Cheep, easy, heat.

@scothunter3221 2 года назад

This was a great video and at wonderful time as it is inspiring me to get off my duff, hook the trailer up again, and go wondering. No heaters suggestions here, you have plenty, but another simple recipe from my childhood. We had what we called tuna and potato chips. It was simply a bag of potato chips crunched up, stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of tuna, and maybe a little water or milk if it’s too thick. My mother used to bake it in the oven with some extra chips sprinkled on top, but I’ve made it camping many times just on a stove top. Comfort food and very, very simple and quick.

@scothunter3221 2 года назад

One more comment on the tuna and potato chips. While it probably is high in sodium it does not really taste salty. I’m always surprised when I eat it that it doesn’t taste salty at all, and I tend to use regular salted potato chips, the cheapest you can find.

@MizJewels 2 года назад

Hey Slim, Did you know you can cook your pasta in with your main meal, thereby saving water and another pot to wash? I recently learned this myself and it's been working out quite well for me. I cup water to 1 cup pasta is the general ratio. So after mushrooms are cooked, add the soup, water, pasta. Simmer 8-10m, then remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. It's impt to add the s. cream off the heat so it doesn't separate. No drain water to fill up your grey tank, no second pot to wash, and the starch in the pasta acts like a thickener for the sauce.

I'll bet Slim goes with your suggestion next time he fixes HermitGirl's recipe.

Nice way to wake up with a fresh cup of coffee. Thanks Slim. It seems like someone would build a hot water pad that goes under the rug. It could be made to work just with a percolator effect and no fans or moving parts at all. An adjustable flame height would determine how much water is circulating. I’m sure it could be done, it just needs to be toyed with until right.

@svenjohnson2389 2 года назад

Truma and Alde offer some quiet options, maybe pricey and require some involved installation, but once done probably awesome. Not sure of the efficiency of either product line, but the sacrifice of a few dollars for peace and quiet would probably be worth it. Have you looked into retrofitting your original heater with a tangential fan? They are a lot quieter and occasionally available on the surplus market in various sizes and voltages. I like your frying pan handle mod, maybe take that to the Shark Tank, very handy! Thanks for showing us some more of the east coast Slim!
