hagamuffn Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 With 2020 coming to a close, has anybody given any considerable thought to installing a small woodfire stove in their rv? Propane is cheap and accessible now, but are there any feasible replacements should it not be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It is possible to install a wood stove in a Toyota motorhome. There's a description on this blog. The Kimberly stove he uses is not cheap though. Lots of other interesting stuff in the blog too Living in a Van down by the River!!!

Gary_M Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Or a G-Stove form Norway. They are cheaper and use these in tents to my surprise. Cheers, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Had a friend with an old converted school bus with a full size wood stove in the back quite a sight going down the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a pretty common setup within the schooly community. I know of at least 3 busses personally, all with full size wood stoves. Overkill in one of these Lil toys tho. You ever seen those ol quarter log cast iron stoves? Pretty cute, and kinda what I was thinking, though something more updated like the others suggested may be more practical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 In the process of finding Timmy's blog I found out he has sold his Toyota 4x4 camper and built a wooden camper on a Ford 7.3 diesel. He's a major kayaker too and there are a ton of fantastic videos. Full Send Alaskan Overland - YouTube I intend to watch all of them. He moved his Kimberly stove to his new camper Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tstockma Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) The "Cubic Mini" woodstove for RVs A neighbor of mine rebuilt on old RV entirely from just the frame, put in an elegant little wood stove that takes wood no longer than 5" long, called the "Cubic Mini" for cabins, RVs, & boats no longer than 40 feet. Says it works like a champ. Just under one foot in all dimensions, mounts on the wall with a nice heat shield, good stovepipe & small chimney sticking out on top. I always thought wood stoves in our little Toyo rigs was not workable, 'till I saw these. Pretty much a cube, no dimension larger than 1 foot. These pics don't show the heat shield well, it runs all the way to the ceiling. Edited January 1, 2021 by tstockma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
