Diabalein Avidia : If you give us a Name and model and year we can google it and see what you are talking about ! Most of my original objections still hold true!
If we say the Rocket burner base will be An egg shaped mass Approximately 33'' by 44'', then in order to protect the interior walls at that location you will need
a 6'' air gap with air circulation behind an insulating and Reflective barrier in order to then place the Rocket Burner base and barrel within 18'' of it! Add ing up
these dimensions will take us to a more rounded shape assuming open access to the
Feed Tube End Of The Rocket burner base but we are still losing an Oval area
over 6' wide at the Barrel and 5' deep !
Most of your fire wood can be undercover under your Gooseneck, but you are still going to have to plan on having a three day supply of wood co-located to your
Rocket! Is there a door near that location you can use to bring in Fire Wood! Needing to move people to the far end of the trailer to have an open pathway to your
Rockets Location will get old very fast !
Generally the gooseneck area of the trailer is considered to be a sleeping loft, I must warn you that most
Rocket Mass Heater RMH, Accidents are related to fires
when some thing Flammable is placed on, or falls onto the Barrel, Your bedding is your enemy in this confined location, in the event of a fire you would have
seconds to Breakout a window and then fall over 7' to the ground .
Think on that for a minute !
I am assuming that you will have Plywood floors, these would have to be reinforced, with possibly other reinforcements to the trailers frame from below, there will
be some kind of a Streamlining and insulation package that will have to be removed to get at the frame, which will then leave you to deal with Plumbing, Wiring,
and Heating and Cooling Ductwork before the Braces are added on.
Then it must all be put back together, weather-tight and vermin proof! But we are not yet done adding in weight ! On the reinforced floor we now need to extend our
air gap and reflective barrier. You will be toping that of with Brickwork and insulation to protect your trailer from the heat radiating from the bottom of your Rocket
Burner base, -and we have not yet Laid the first brick of our D.I.Y. RMH, this will be 1,000s of pounds more !
You will also need to plan on where you exterior vertical chimney is going to go and how you will make a Whole in the Side of the trailer for that Chimney !
If The
land that you were going to park this trailer on was free to use, and adapt to your needs, a Crusted stone pad several inches above grade would be step
one, then french drains, A
Concrete Slab ( this is also a potential problem area !) and a pole barn over the whole structure could be added in in that approximate
order.
A careful use of tarps for wind breaks might allow you to take advantage of
solar gain and make you a Micro climate, and give you other heating options, but we
are already into a 5 Year plan for most people !
For the simplest thing on the market with the most-likly solution to your problem you could take a look at the 4'' Castle Build offering from the people at Dragon
Heaters
dragonheaters.com This is a commercial built more compact and lighter unit that can be more rapidly installed without a massive weight penalty
and may better fit your Knowledge and Skills Set ! For the good of the craft !
