Hey everyone! If you're planning a camping trip or thinking about living in a camper, it's important to make sure you have a furnace that can keep you warm and comfortable. One key factor to consider when choosing a camper furnace is the number of BTUs (British Thermal Units) it can produce.
To figure out how many BTUs you need for your camper furnace, you'll need to consider a few factors, including the size of your camper, the outdoor temperature, and your insulation level. As a general rule of thumb, you'll need about 25-30 BTUs per square foot of living space if you're camping in mild to moderate temperatures (around 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit). For colder temperatures, you may need up to 45-60 BTUs per square foot.
For example, if your camper has a living area of 100 square feet and you're camping in moderate temperatures, you'll need a furnace that can produce at least 2,500-3,000 BTUs (100 square feet x 25-30 BTUs per square foot). If you're camping in colder temperatures, you may need a furnace that can produce up to 6,000 BTUs (100 square feet x 60 BTUs per square foot).
Remember, these are just general guidelines, and you'll need to factor in other variables like the number of people in your camper and the altitude of your camping location. It's always best to consult with a professional to make sure you choose the right furnace for your needs.
Hope this helps! Stay warm out there!
