[VAC] Re: More frame off stuff



Robert,

Taking it a step further, how about dividing things up into two or three Zones,
One for the bath (a little warmer) and one for the rear and separate for the
front. Would work great on larger trailers. Add in some timed thermostats and
only heat things when you need them heated.

This would be really great for heating in the off season to just above freezing
with a relatively small electrical heat source and low temp thermostat. I wonder
if this could be made into a solar configuration, probably a pipe dream,
wouldn't be able to get the BTU's out of anything light enough to be permanently
mounted.

Ooh, I just thought of something, what about connecting up to the tow vehicles
heating system, ala the rear heaters in a lot of the passenger Vans, Use some
quick connects (don't forget some sort of breakaway connection though) and
presto chango, a auxiliary heat source. would be a great way to preheat the
trailer during colder weather towing. Drive and heat as it were.

Am I getting closer to being ridiculous?

:-)
