Re: Dry camping heating. Reply #25 – December 13, 2019, 02:19:05 pm We have used a Toyotomi OM-22 (23) to heat our house for many years before diesel became too expensive ( propane is under $1/gal in summer). It's direct vent with a small single pipe with the exhaust in the middle and the heater air around the exhaust. No house air used. The vent is about 3 inches in diameter and only about 6 inches long. It does need an inverter or shore power but does not use much juice. Uses #2 ULSD diesel/heating oil, #1 ULSD or kerosene (or Jet A). 3 speed with low speed super quiet. Will easily heat a motorhome. No smell. Made in Japan.Fuel Consumption: High - 0.173 gal./hMed - 0.116 gal./hLow - 0.060 gal./hIt's not very big and would just need an outside wall to mount it against. Check the fuel burn and specs at this page: OM-22 Oil MiserWe are at 2000 feet but I have heard that over 8000 feet in winter may require a winter diesel/#1 diesel or kerosene.Pierce Quote Selected

Have had it for too long to count. Extremely reliable and fuel efficient. Clean two filters before the start if heating season and you're good to go. Quote Selected

Just over one gallon a day on the low setting.P Quote Selected

Lots of covers and snuggle up real close to the DW That would work too, Nighthawk......... as long as the DW agrees to get up first in the morning, turn on the front furnace and have the coffee pot ready before she gets me up! Yep............ that'll be the day! Ha! Quote Selected 2 Likes
