I am in Toronto Canada and it kept the insulated garage a very comfortable 55*f so we could work comfortably, and it was set to low. I was thinking of using something similar if I move ahead with a CT. I really enjoy this style of furnace, The only thing I would consider is the amount of Real Estate it takes on a wall.

That is a nice little unit, Hader. Is this a ventless unit that burns air and exhaust inside the trailer? Or it has a direct vent from/to outside? If it ventless, then the breathing air inside will have less oxygen and gradually more CO2 or even CO and then more moisture too. Opening some window gap is a safety requirement, right?
Sorry I failed to mention in my initial post that I am also concerned with oxygen depletion, so I am looking into direct vented units, when burned gas and fumes are isolated or vented from the trailer interior, like in furnaces or heating stoves.
