[VAC] Re: Balsa core flooring



Better to use a direct combustion appliance like a water heater or gas
furnace because that generator will produce 51,000 btu of electricity
while wasting at least 153,000 btu of heat in its engine cooling system
and exhaust heat AND exhaust noise.

I find from looking at the Camping World catalog that the electric
heater element for an Atwood water heater is a bit on the small side, so
the gas burner would be too. More appropriate for just water heat than
to act as a radiant heating system boiler.
