    my project

    as some one once told me..."pay once cry once" I love mine & it's the safest heat air furnace on the market, & the most efficient pulling 1.4 to 1.6 amps an hour. Propane consumption is far less than those Mr. Heaters too.

    Overland Trailer - Lowe’s 3x5 Carry On - Kevin

    are you going to reinforce the frame any? or change out the leaf springs? That frame will have way too much flex if not reinforced.
