BOONDOCKINGG/ MR HEATER




I'VE ADDED THE NEXT PIECE TO OUR BOONDOCKING EQUIPMENT, THE MR. HEATER. I'M STILL MISSING THE HOSE AND FILTER TO THE LITTLE LP TANK, BUT THEY WILL BE ALONG SOON.

THE MR HEATER IS A PORTABLE LP GAS HEATER THAT'S SAFE TO USE INDOORS. INSTEAD OF THE LITTLE GREEN CANISTERS, YOU CAN USE A FILTER AND HOSE TO ATTACH THE HEATER TO AN LP TANK.




THERE IS A SENSOR BUILT INTO THE UNIT THAT SHUTS IT DOWN IF THERE ISN'T ENOUGH OXYGEN IN THE AIR TO SAFELY RUN THE UNIT. THE SENSOR IS SO SENSITIVE THAT THE HEATER WON'T WORK AT 7,000 FEET IN THE MOUNTAINS.

THE HEATER DOESN'T HAVE A FAN, SO IT USES NO ELECTRIC. THAT'S A REAL POSITIVE WHEN BOONDOCKING. ALSO WE WILL BE GETTING ALL THE HEAT OUT THE LP GAS, UNLIKE THE FURNACE IN THE CAMPER THAT EXHAUSTS ABOUT HALF THE HEAT TO THE OUTSIDE.

BESIDES BOONDOCKING THIS HEATER WILL GET USED WHENEVER WE'RE SITTING AROUND TO TAKE THE CHILL OFF.
