Ventless heater reccomendations

Any opinions?

Hi All,

Winter is coming! Pretty cold in the mornings already. So,it's time to get a heater for my new space.

I am living in a 35' trailer, off the grid. I'm in Northern CA, so we get frost about 20-30 days a year, but that's about it.

I am looking at ventless heaters. I have read the warnings, so I will have my own CO and ODS sensors as well as the ODS on the heater. I will follow the venting reccomendations as well. What I'd like is some help with the following questions:

Blue flame or Radiant? I'm leaning towards blue flame, although they aren't legal in CA.

What Brand I want a high quality unit, no cheapies.

What Size? It's a small trailer. I'm thinking 6000 to 10,000 BTU's.

Thanks for the help!

Jonathan

used one for years in my house-living room-
i liked the radiant heater the best--seems to throw the heat out farther..
burns cleaner than the flame type...had a co2 monitor it never did go off..
buy one with a built in thermostat...then set it and forget it....
hmm .. seems ive heard that phrase somewhere.....................
