who's doing you're install?

I'm Also looking at getting power or "shore" power added to mine. Maybe guys can post a few pics of battery set up?

I did this myself was easy.
The inside cord gives me 3 outlets. I will use a battery charger/minder of some type. While driving truck will charge battery

Explain please .

I think he's referring to your battery in the trailer is technically "enclosed" but I'm pretty sure there is enough air space in the trailer to consider that "open" and not a sealed compartment IMO. Like on a travel trailer the battery is in a separate area that is sealed and vented to the outside. What the actual definition is....not sure, others might disagree. If you've got any venting in the trailer at all then its "vented" IMO (i.e. not a sealed enclosure).

Hopefully you have a battery tie down though...... LOL

Yup, it’s good there, trailer has vents. I won’t be sleeping in this one anyway . Battery will come out and go in my camper in the spring

Still not close too finished, still need too insulate floor, paint wall an floor, have too add some hangers and tie downs.Mount the fan and battery tender. Cold weather slowed the process as this won’t fit in my garage.

We have a 16ft and used the heater last weekend. I think it is a pretty decent little furnace. Made it nice and comfortable inside for wrenching or changing clothes. I think it will hold its own in colder temps. The directions were crappy, I could understand the Chinese better than the English.
