Hey Ellie, You might want to check out Olympian catalytic heaters. They use no electricity, can be hooked up to your propane system, and produce great amounts of heat. I used a Wave 6 in a 26 foot box, car trailer, and it produced more than enough heat for that. It requires no flue or chimney. I did crack a window and roof vent when I used it. I am going to install one in the LQ of my horse trailer - as soon as I get around to it!! If you do a google search, you'll get lots of information on them.

Ellie, we used to open the door between the LQ & midtack..should work great especially if you are insulating it. Since you are gonna be in the cold for so long, you might try to figure a way to put temporary skirting on it like they do for mobile homes, maybe help trap some of the heat and keep the cold air out from underneath. Justa thought.

Hey, Wannabe - THANKS for the link!!! I just bought my LQ trailer in April, and was wondering how to get reading to live in it in the NW Colorado winters. There are some awesome threads on that site, and I just didn't know where to look. Anyone have "hot" tips for me? I will be in Craig, CO for a few months, and it can get 30 below for a week at a time here. I am going to have core bond insulation blown underneath the entire trailer, and some insulation in my mid-tack/mud room. Hoping to be able to use my water all winter somehow. I have a 2H slant load, mid-tack, 12' LQ 2000 4-Star. I'll be using electric heaters in lieu of the propane heat. Is there such a thing as a battery-operated little heater that I could turn on in the mid-tack, since there is no electric outlet in there? Don't want to use propane behind closed doors. I only use the mid-tack for mixing feed and shedding off the mucky clothes/boots, but at 30 below I'm thinking I might want a little heat while I'm stripping! Also, I'm staying at a horse hotel, so have to drive in 2x/month to dump my tank. I'm going to try to rig up a pipe to drain my grey water into a ditch to avoid an ice dam. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Liza

One thing about the conversions you want to be aware of. If it doesn't have that little sticker on the side of the trailer from the RV association I think it is. Most trailer parks will not let you park. That sticker assure everyone that it is up to certian specs. Outlaw conversions are really good conversions. aggie

Thank You for all of your responses! I had read an interesting and informative article (Trailer Tailor) in the July/August issue of "TRAIL RIDER" Magazine which raised some concerns and questions about LQ Trailers. There are just so many out there to choose from. The article was helpful if anyone is interested. Thanks again!

I have a 4-Star with Outlaw Conversion, and it has been worth the money. Bloomer and Duster Conv. are excellent, no problem with either choice.

I have a Bloomer with Duster Conversions and have looked at many and found they are the best made in terms of living quarters. It is not cheaply done, as so many of them are. They are more expensive than some of the others, but the quality and warranty is worth the extra bucks.

Good question, SoHo. I have wondered about that myself! Maybe someone else will know... Vicky
