Wood Stove Install in a Travel Trailer

[HarryToolips]

Does anyone have any experience with having a wood stove in a travel trailer, camper, RV or similar? I'm looking at installing one in mine, after removing the propane powered furnace. My concern is the danger of a fire or explosion because of the cooking stove and fridge in the unit still being on propane. I plan on ensuring that there are no propane leaks by checking with a solution of soap/water, and even shutting off the propane when I intend on lighting a fire, if deemed necessary..

Please share your thoughts and experiences, if any, thanks..

Kid I know put a wood stove in a trailer, going down the highway,flames we’re high and bright, he pulled into a grocery store parking lot to get fire extinguishers, parked by the front main door, almost burnt the building and all, it was awesome, he knows what not to do.

[HarryToolips]

Did he elaborate on what exactly caused the fire?

[Greenthumbed]

The fire was likely not completely out and the draft caused by the trailer moving down the road caused the fire to kick up again and cause a chimney fire.

[Greenthumbed]

I’m a WETT certified wood stove installer and inspector. I have plenty of experience with wood stoves. I can’t say I’ve installed a stove in a camper.
A couple of things come to mind to comment on your question. First, I don’t think you need to worry about your wood stove causing an explosion for leaking gas any more that lighting a match would. In fact the flame is contained inside an airtight box. Having said that, do make so of no LP leaks on your appliances. The other thing that I would suggest is to hook up the combustion air to the stove so the stove gets it air from outside rather than the interior of the camper. This will help prevent back drafting of the flue gases. It also makes the stove operate more efficiently. Lastly, keep in mind that you’re likely not going to meet the manufacture’s minimum clearance to combustibles so you are taken an inherent risk when not installing the wood stove to the manufacturers instructions.
good luck!

[HarryToolips]

Thanks for your time and comments Greenthumbed, good suggestions for sure.. I plan on installing heat shields anywhere close to the stove..

[ytlogger]

I put a Cubic mini in my camper. You can take your furnace out and use the space for something useful(like storing wood) after you install one of those. Yeah, you want the fire out and the chimney capped when driving. Just search for Cubic mini.

hmmm one of my medivac helicopter trips involved a gent who wasnt making sense over a sat radio with his wife..she called BC AMBULANCE ..dispatch sent me into the Cariboo mts no problems finding his 30 foot travel trailer...I did hear him thumping around inside..got him outside ..he was talking craZY...had to take him to town...with diminished capacity he could have done something insane..like voting LIBERAL... no propane just wood stove...sealed up tight...my treatment seemed to start reversal of his symptoms...I did talk with his emotional wife who kind of pointed to the wood stove..smoke? fumes? carbon monoxide ?
never got to talk with a locum DR. he was gone by my next shift...always wonder when i go past the area.
one fatal was a trailer caught on fire..no escape
have in fact seen wood stove in a couple units one even looked safe..

be safe WE NEED YOU HERE..

I'm looking at doing the same thing. My plan is to be able to remove the stove easily for cleaning and travel.

[Greenthumbed]

A CO detector and a second fire escape is a must.

[Bernie O]

I have had one in my hunting trailer for years. Sure makes it comfy and lets you dry your wet stuff. I built my own and put double heat shields around it and the chimney. A chimney cap for traveling and emptying the stove is a definete must do. I would use common sense and always have an extinguisher handy.

[B.C.Boy(100%)]

I built one out of 30lbs propane tank, using just a drill and a zip disc, and a bit of hardware (small nuts & bolts)

I used 4” galvanized duct work for the inner chimney, and single wall 6” on the outside of the 4”.
Old metal roofing panel for a heat shield, plus some bricks and cement board for extra heat protection.

Once it was assembled outside of the camper, I lit it up and got it really hot to burn off the galvanized metal, better be up wind of the stuff. Used a knotted wire wheel to clean off the paint from the tank.
I have pictures on my dead laptop so kind of hard to share at the moment.

Lol definitely good advice, I definitely plan on ensuring that the fire is out b4 driving..I have a Tigris1 stove I intend to use, but I heard the cubic minis are good stoves..

That's exactly my plan as well...

I definitely agree, i actually have 2 CO detectors for the trailer..

I agree on the extinguisher, and good to hear it's worked well for you...do you feel there are no issues with running propane appliances while the woodstove is running?

Great job on the self built unit, very good ideas...my boy and I built one last year out of an old water meter box...

[Ubertuber]

I got ride of my small wood stove and installed a cheap Chinese diesel heater in my cargo trailer. So much better than the wood stove or propane unit. Maybe consider one.

I much prefer wood, but thanks for the reply I heard those diesel units are good..

[MOOSE MILK]

My father lived in a 30' trailer for about 10 years with a wood heater, never had wet windows, and was always cozy inside.
He rigged an outside stove that had a double wall which he drew hot air in from, and piped it into the trailer with a solar-powered fan. He had an extension on the rear bumper that carried the stove when he traveled. (not lit)LOL

[HappyJack]

I always figured you'd cook yourself out with a woodstove inside a camper, and after an hour or so it would burn down or out, and then you could get chilly?? I'd go with propane or diesel heat myself and save a lot of grief.

For me, I love wood heat, and the drier, more natural heat that it provides..also don't have to worry about running out of fuel when in da bush..

[RiverOtter]

I've considered a wood stove several times for my trailer. Personally, I'm leaning towards a seperate pop up type tent butted against my trailer door to keep wood and ash outside. I'd keep my propane furnace for sleeping and have an exterior drying room with the option of turning on a vent fan to suck warm dry air into the trailer.

I can savvy your thought process, Harry, but for me my trailer is a bit too nice to be pulling the furnace and plumbing a stove pipe. Lol.

I bought this 7' x 16' ramp tailgate cargo trailer yesterday it has a sliding window on the other side and a camper style door so you can open the door from the inside.

Bought the trailer for multiple uses = storage of some of our stuff while we continue doing reno's on our house - I plan to use it for storage of my landscaping and snow removal equipment including tractor - I'll use it when our house sales to move some of our stuff - most importantly I need it for hunting/camping trips especially when I take my three 150lbs dogs.

https://i.postimg.cc/SRXmHDWQ/Chloe-Zoe-Bru-oct-2021.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Right now I drive a pickup with an 8' camper and a 6' x 10' V-nose ramp tailgate cargo trailer with our camping gear and two dirt bikes in it I needed more room for when we score a side x side or a quad.

A couple years ago my dad had a guy make him this 12" x 12" x 12" wood stove he was going to put it into his 5th wheel RV trailer but due to covid lies/shutdowns he never got around to it and now Dementia has hit him so he does not drive.

Part of my plan is to install this stove in the 16' cargo trailer chimney would just go out upper side panel I would remove the chimney and stove when I'm driving so will need some kind of a cover to close off the hole in the side.

Has anyone done this kind of a setup before = I'd appreciate any thoughts because I have no idea how to doo it safely yet.

Check how it will effect your insurance. Buddy who was doing the nomad worker/van life deal said it negates insurance on an RV when you install one.

Looks like a great setup you have, love the pic of the dogs....for the cover, have you considered some kind of apparatus where a cover slides in rails, where you can lock in the cover with a set-screw or something along those lines? For me, I will also be removing the stove when I am driving, when it is in use, I will be protruding the stove pipe through a stove-jack insert I will be building for the window (cuttable stove jacks are cheap on Amazon)...I will also be covering any wood or burnable material that is within a foot of the stove and stove pipe with metal sheeting, that will be installed with 1" spacers keeping the metal heat-reflecting shields off those burnable surfaces...beneath the stove there will be an old hot-water tank pan, and beneath the stove pipe will also be metal sheeting...the stove pipe will be clamped & supported outside, with a spark-arrestor mesh installed at the end of the pipe...

And please, those in the know chime in, what safety features am I forgetting?

[Elkaddict]

For a cargo trailer conversion consider sending the chimney up through a stove jack in the middle of the roof. The stove is placed in the centre at the back, giving good clearance around the stove. Drying racks and wood storage on either side of the stove. You can load fresh wood through the ramp door instead of carting it through the trailer.

Slide the chimney up through the stove jack for assembly/disassembly. Find a suitable sized cap for the jack for when the stove is not in use. Put an eye bolt in the centre of the cap and bungy or tie it to the interior when the stove is not in use.

Bunks at the front with a roof vent over top. Emergency egress through man door or roof vent via top bunk.

The stove must be disassembled and removed and emptied prior to travel if you want to load a quad, or have lots of cargo but this also ensures all fires are out and the stove is cool enough to not cause any problems.

My old trailer

My new trailer. Used the same clear top with chimney from my old trailer. I use one of the big tin barrel stoves. Too small is no good, gotta be up all night filling it or relighting it.

Tried of waking up cold with the stove out so just put an amazon diesel heater into a box that will go outside.

The box holds the heater, battery and fuel tank. Remote start and temp sensor inside so I'll be able to set it at 20degrees.
Will be able to run the stove if I want, and the diesel heater in the box outside

Going to put a hole in the side for the box to blow hot air in with a 4" pipe. The box will be about 4 feet away from the trailer so I don't have to worry about exhaust.
Can use the box for ice fishing huts, wall tents, whatever. It should be good. Tested it and burn about 1.5l in 6 hours on high/max output. The 15l tank is supposed to last 40 hours on high.

I'll try and see if I have a picture of it...

Awesome setup......

[fishhunt]

I have a 16’ dual axle cargo trailer. Fits two ATV’s and a 14’ aluminum boat on top of the ATV’s inside.

Beds: It has two beds (they can be made into a king size bed as well with a piece of plywood for the middle). These beds fold up with piano hinges on 2 by 6 and hinged legs that come down when you put the bed down. When raised up, it’s held against the wall with ratchet straps. The best part about these beds is that that foam, sleeping bags, and pillows all stay there folded up with the bed. Also, it’s only attached to the walls with 3 screws. The weight is supported underneath with the 2by6. I can take both beds out or move them forward or backward inside the trailer easily if need be (if reconfiguring the trailer). Using this system, you don’t need to have the bedding (foam, sleeping bags, etc) separate. Undo ratchet straps and go to sleep!

Shelter: I have a modified awning that I built from car shelter parts that click together and tarp. The tarp rolls up with a long bar (car shelter parts) inside it. The parts store next to my ramps for the ATV’s under one of the beds. First thing at camp it to click the shelter parts to the side of the trailer. Then unroll the tarp and I use bungees across to hold it together. I have side pieces as well for full enclosure, but that’s not in the pictures. This shelter holds up to nice snow and keeps in heat when we put a wood stove outside.

Stove: Wood stove made from 30lb propane tank was given to me by hunting buddy. In winter, I use a slow burn sawdust log at night to keep it warm for hours when choked. I have a fan that runs off the heat. It’s nice to circulate the air.

Fridge: Bought a regular fridge. It’s better than a cooler and has a separate fridge. I put frozen water bottles inside and use that to keep food cold for several days. Any longer and I use the generator for a few hours at night to keep it cold and refreeze the water bottles which acts as a cooler for the other items inside.

Counter and shelves: Cut from plywood and painted white. Curved at the front to match the trailer.

Drawers: Meant for garage, but they lock, so installed them here.

Lights: Led strip lights inside and outside. They run on battery or generator.

EZ Track System: Use it to hang hunting clothes (especially when wet to quickly dry out by the wood stove). On other side, used to strap in two tables and 2 chairs.

Power Bar: Power to charge everything when the generator is on. I keep a car battery charger on the shelf to easily charge the car battery.

Misc Items: Chainsaw, axes, etc. are stored under the bed. Most items can be accessed with the bed is down, you just open the door.

Gas: goes in the back of the truck. Otherwise it stink and spills in the trailer.

So I have 10 pictures of the trailer that I can't upload due to quote size. I saved them as smallest size when emailing from phone to computer. Something isn't right. I hate this website for pictures.

You can totally put one in as long as you place combustible spacers in and know clearances as per NFPA, obviously insurance won't cover you but it can work.

Yes I like the stove pipe out the side. Easy to take off makes it nicer for road travel.
Hard to see in the pics I made my own wall jack out of 6" peace 7" insulated chimney and part of a ceiling jack and ring, run my 5" stove pipe through.
http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/PXL_20220607_150150590_copy_385x548.jpg



A 7" to 6" stove pip reducer, firestop cocking to fill between the 6" and the 5" stove pipe.
Another ceiling ring on the out side screwed and more fire stop, a 6" plug 2 eye hooks and haywire for traveling.

I keep the cap and elbow in stove, the chimney in a box under the trailer.
Ya can just see the little hook on the pipe the holds up the chimney on the MICKEY MOUSE hanger near the top of the trailer.

Great info everyone

I like the side mount better than thru the roof

I also have a far larger wood stove that would work very well for colder weather.

[Redthies]

I built a Wells Cargo out as a camp for a friend. We put in the smallest residential wood stove we could find. It’s a 16x8 trailer, and with even a small fire going, you’re down to shorts and a tee shirt pretty quickly if it’s all closed up. We installed 2 roof vents, and the trailer has a good sized opening window on the door. The interior is rudimentary, but sleeps 4, and has space for a quad under the “kitchen” drawers, and a SxS at the back, plus wall tent etc in totes up front. We didn’t go crazy on insulation, but used the double layer foil bubble type behind the T&G pine. There is a substantial heat shield installed after the test burn in photos, and C to C specs were followed. Owner is in the lumber business, so part of the pine interior was to show off some of his wares…

Bonus points for naming the movie!

Years ago they made “zero clearance’ small woodstoves for mobile homes..I saw one guy who took out the bathroom in his camper and installed a small zero clearance woodstove..he put the chimney through the window and removed it for traveling

[HarryToolips]

Some awesome units posted there MRP & Red!

[HarryToolips]

Finished my project, other than I'm building skirting for next winter right now...removed the propane furnace, ensured I have zero propane leaks (I also have a propane leak detector in the trailer), installed heat shielding with 1" spacers from the wall. For ease of travel, & ease of installation, ran the stovepipe through the window...window insert made of hard foam insulation which is slightly flammable, so I covered the insulation in fireproof material....spark arrestor installed on end of stovepipe..used an old hot water tank pan for under the stove, & used tile between the legs of the stove and the pan to impede heat travel to the floor..have had a couple prolonged fires in it, works well...other than the purchase of the stove itself, did the whole project on the cheap...

I agree on the extinguisher, and good to hear it's worked well for you...do you feel there are no issues with running propane appliances while the woodstove is running?
My buddies cabin always had a bit of a propane smell in the cabin, wood stove always burning. He figured out later on, that both propane stoves were hooked up and he never lit the other stoves pilots.

Interesting, I'd be nervous having a fire going with the smell of propane around..

It doesn't take a big stove to heat a trailer . The link below shows a BC man who came up with his own design for a boat .

We used to own a mobile that had a wood stove. Was wett certified. When we fired it up, We actually had to open the doors once in a while to cool the house down. neighbours probably thought it weird that door was open in minus 30 weather. I really did not want to sell the mobile. https://www.google.ca/maps/@50.4912656,-120.8184013,3a,41.5y,181.53h,87.77t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1stXPkvloXFJ77s2-X0iaspg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DtXPk vloXFJ77s2-X0iaspg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D20 3%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D104.27422%26pitch%3D0%26thumbf ov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en
