There has been a lot of posts on heating recently - I wonder why that is Wink

Can anyone give me info on wood burning stoves for MHs Question

I see two other posts mentioning them - one regards Travellers that might tarmac your drive lady Exclamation

and the other very positive remarks relating to a Campervan. I would be very interested to know if there are any serious wood burning options for MHs.

I can understand you wanting a woodburner for a caravan. The van can stand in a field all day and the woodpile is built up next to it.

For a motorhome though ? We certainly have not got space or weight to take a load of wood with us and I can think of few places where we'd be able to gather enough to keep a stove going for any length of time. Looking at domestic woodburners they have to be very heavy -cast iron - to be safe and most MHers are looking to lighten their load not add to it.

PS I can just imagine the Caravan Club wardens reaction to a belching chimney.....!!! Very Happy

Hi

I know a lad who lives on a narrow boat - and the constant smell of burning wood and smoke drives me bonkers!

I can remember my parents tourer van in the late fifties having a coke stove, it was magic (I can only have been about 4!!) and we have a wood burner at home it's still magic Smile

But I can't see it being too practical in a MH, unless you tow a trailer full of wood! Mind you, you could always chop some down on CC sites Shocked

No - I'm not thinking of travelling with a woodburner on board and a trailer with wood behind Exclamation

It's just that when my present situation is sorted I hope to find myself with 1 acre of secluded woodland and no house (the hope bit relates to the woodland - not the house Exclamation

.

My main 'home' may then be a MH with the flexibility to travel when required. So while at base a woodburning stove would be my favorite heat source. It just crossed my mind that someone might make interchangeable heater units for MHs.

There is a famous little stove called "The Faversham" sold for boats by a man called Colin Frake, telephone probably needs a 1 in it now 0795 531493 (01795?). I've got an old info sheet in front of me now.

If you pm me with your email address I'll scan this sheet for you.

...and by the way if I hadn't spent so much money on a smart Hymer but gone for one a few years older, I WOULD, have put one on board.
