Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ive been thinking of picking up an old caravan for weekends away etc and so that if i get pissesd off i can just f**k off onto the open road... What im wondering is can you sufficiently heat a caravan using a yukon stove? Is it as heavy as a potbelly stove? Can you use if for all your cooking if necessary as i hate using gas so will most likely rip out the gas cooker and gas heating. also... Would it be possible to rig it to provide hot water to the caravan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im guessing they run on oil, id prefer something that runs on wood/turf as thats free most of the time... Will try the yukon and if i dont like it i can always find another job for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
