Full Time Living- Winter Heating Question

[John From Detroit]

I agree the extension might be a bad idea but... If you want to try you have two issues. REMOVING THE COVER may resolve one.. (The cross bar on the exhaust)  You need a decent seal between outlet and extension.

now.. Look at a "Genturi" generator exhaust extension... That's how I'd do it.. If I did it.

How do I do it?

I added heavy duty 15/20 amp outlets INSIDE the RV. each is fed with 12  ga wire bent around a well tightened screw, off a breaker that feeds it and only it.. (I do not trust the Uni-box outlets they use when building rv's)

I'd try installing a regular stove pipe and connecting it to the exaust. May still need a window cracked for make up air and no guarantee that the draft won't be unbalanced and impact heater operation but it should be safe enough so long as the exaust connection is secure. It shouldn't be terribly expensive to try.

Considering the usual vagaries of wind on the inlet in normal operation, I'd think you have a good chance it will work.

X2, a chimney would be an option done correctly
