A constant question and source of discussion on forums is how to heat small sleeping spaces efficiently, quietly, and safely!

For this stealth camper, it was decided a diesel hot water heater feeding 2 heat exchangers would have small computer fans blow air over them for blown hot air heating in the living room and the bathroom. The heat exchanges can be operated independently so that the bathroom can be isolated and used as a drying room for wet clothes.
