Is this heater safe for use in a mobile home? We all know how drafty mobile homes are and how quickly they can catch on fire.

Should work fine. I have mine in a dog house. It's 4x8 and 8 feet high. Gets to 40c below here and it keeps it warm in there for my mutt. Walls are press board and there is carpeting in there. It gets warm but if you keep drapes away (like any heater) it will be fine. Make sure the wiring is up to code and get the right voltage thermostat and it works great!!!

I have mine installed in a Park Model trailer at an RV park and it works fine. It should be safe as long as it is wired correctly according to code and you keep away flammable items.

Just remember that this oven gets very hot and is a danger to anyone coming in contact with it. It would be safer to use it outside with a Coleman camp stove and not use it inside of an enclosed camper. I would not use it inside of our trailer.

Best heater on the market.. I own two and they are efficient, noiseless, and can be operated 24/7 . I live in North Dakota and I wouldn't be without them. I use one for a 10x12 bedroom and it's fine. Not sure if it could handle a larger room, it would depend on insulation and outside temp. This is a safe quality heater.

I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.

All safety instructions say to not use it indoors. I have lived off the grid for many years and have used several types of catalytic type heaters to heat the inside of my cabins or boats. They are safe as long as you have enough incoming air. Most of the newer units have a CO sensor that will shut it down if the monoxide level gets dangerous. That said, I would NEVER go to bed with one of these or any other LP heater or cooking unit going in an enclosed space. Safe enough to use responsibly in a trailer, ice fishing tent, shop or garage as long as it is not left unattended for a multitude or potential safety reasons. All said I love this heater.

In my opinion, the flame is realistic. We use ours on carpet with no problems with no excessive heat gets to the carpet. We have not seen a significant increase to our electricity bill and our heater runs almost 24/7. Buy it, you won't be sorry.

It gets hotter than I thought but it won't burn you in the short time you would be able to keep your hand on it. If for some reason you could not pull away from it I could see where you could get a nasty burn from it. I bought it to replace an oil filled space heater in my son's room and it is much better than that heater. I was worried he would get out of bed and touch it and get burnt. He has touched this one and knew it was hot and now he leaves it alone. He didn't get burnt when he touched it but did pull his hand away and say hot.

Yes, you have to make sure the surface is free of dirt, mold, etc, and it works better if you can heat it well with a heat gun as you put it on while firmly pressing or rolling it down. Once it is adhered well it works. Can be used on mobile homes and campers. Check Youtube for videos, there uses to be some on there.

Should be okay. That's the beauty of catalytic heat; it requires little oxygen and produces little CO. I have used it in tents, boats, etc. with no problems. Just don't put it close to anything combustible; it does get very hot.

Yes. Just don't 'shock' it by getting it too hot too fast or cooling it down too fast. I always pull a suply of coals out of the main fire to cook on with no problems.

Yes you can use it in a tent but like any heater especially a propane one it will get VERY hot and if you tip it over it WILL catch a tent on fire pretty quick. I have used this in a tent and it did well, but I let it run for awhile to heat up the tent and I turned it off right before I get into my sleeping bag and call it a night. Also like any other propane heater just make sure you have plenty of ventilation in case of possible carbon monoxide.

It is a comfort heater. I live in a small apartment and it it will keep up as long as the temperatures don't fall below 30 degrees. It does not heat the carpet. The narrow outlet towards the top of the unit blows forced air over some sort of heating element. It is quite powerful, but not the same as a built in appliance. You can touch the unit anywhere and it will not burn you. It is very safe for children pets. It is a 1500 watt unit. multiply 1500 x hours x your rate in kilowatts/hour and you get the cost of operation.

It definitely is hot enough but l would be cautious, it doesn't have a temp control. I would be careful not to get it close to anything that can catch on fire.

I guess I wouldn't be opposed to trying it, away from the house first of all. It is galvanized so it'll probably discolored rather quickly. As long as I don't load it up to where it makes a super hot fire. Me, I would try it because I don't see where it would hurt anything as long as you're safe.

I understand that one can get a hose to attach to the heater to allow for venting. If you did that, I believe it would be fully safe; at least I personally would be willing to use it inside if fumes were vented out. Otherwise, I would not use it inside while I was sleeping.

yes, we live in a mobile home and have had this heater for a few years and we love it it will save you a ton on gas

I believe this heater would be safe in any room. Mine was installed in the main bathroom of an older home. I leave the door open and this little heater keeps that part of the house warm, including the hallway & main entry area.
