This RMH is being built in a room on the south side of a double wide Mobile Home. I'm wanting to see if an 8" RMH will heat a 1200 sq (approx) MH.
The generated heat will rise into the higher MH. I have an active fan that will blow that heat to the far end of the MH through it's small attic area to help,
when necessary, distribute that heat.

What could go wrong in a swell place like "The Evil Eye"? Or with this tiny ad?
