>>2711657>250 watt oil heater and an inverterlmao, electric heat is a terrible idea for camping purposes.
>250 watt heater>figure 50 watts efficiency loss through the inverter, makes math easy>so 300 watts totalA 200 amp-hour 12v lithium battery is physically large, about $700, and provides 2400 watt-hours of power. 2400/300 = 8 hours. And that's without running lights, USB chargers, or ANYTHING else.
Inverters are shit for efficiency. Convert what you can to 12v and run off that. Lights, laptop/usb chargers, appliances, etc.
Oh, and now you need a way to recharge that 2400 watt-hour battery. Which adds up to a fuckload of solar area. Or a generator.
>>2711494>How warm are those things inside?They leak heat like a motherfucker. The insulation in them is shit, at best. Usually just bulk-cut styrofoam sheets of low R-value, with lots of open gaps between.
Use high-quality iso board insulation, cut to fit between the ribs, spray-foam any of the oddball shape areas (frame ribs, corners). Insulate the floor as much as you can, spray foam works well for this.
>>2711489>Buy a cheap cargo trailer. Cut a window in it. Congratulations.Basically what I did. Don't buy a "cheap" cargo trailer though, look for something at least mid-range. The electrical in them is all shit, but you do get better wheels/axles/structure by stepping up to a better trailer.
>8x14 V-nose deck-over-axle trailer>Bunk bed on one side, built from an old cot and steel pipe>Generator outside, battery and propane inside>Satellite internet in pickup>25k btu forced-air propane furnace>fully insulated, as above>LED lightsNot luxury living, but for getting changed out of the wind/snow and shitposting in the evening, it's not bad. Couple nights a month in here. Handles sub-zero fine.
