Howdy all,
Cabin isn't really a tool, but a lot of smart guys here.
12x20 timber frame cabin in the mountains, WAY off the grid but I use batteries, 12v lighting and such when I'm up there. Also use generator for power tools but run out of fuel after 5-6 hours if I try to run milkhouse heater. Also have to vent outside if I try propane heaters with my asthma and COPD.
Why could/couldn't I hook up a 12v 20k btu furnace from a RV? Maybe 30k btu? No insulation to speak of because interior is all beams and finished T&G, wife unit doesn't go up there in winter but If I insulate I'd have to pull it all out come spring which could get spendy.Ducting would be nice, and I've got several propane tanks. I've been told both yes and no by local RV shops, but figured I'd get a straight answer from you guys...
