Homeless Truck Driver

and funny about the wood stove, i got one a few weeks ago, i was going to be hooking it up but i didnt look into how much the friggin pipes are!! the kits i need are between 350 and 500 bucks!! that isn't gonna help me none. whatever i only paid 50 bucks for this stove, who knows maybe i'll say F it and suck up the cost and do it. but its not like my heating bill is much its only about 100$ a month.

 

I live in southern california, what's this winter thing you're all talking about?

 

About the pipes, just insulate around them.

Foam insulation works wonders. but before you insulate around pipes, double check to see if it meets building codes.

Violating building codes via DIY mistakes, can result in losing the home via the county. Ensure an ELECTRICIAN that is LICENSED installs anyform of electrical heaters. (Or better yet, an Licensed HVACR Tech) in or around your pipes. Why? It's not hard to create an electrical fire. If one does occur, it goes on the guy who installed them.
Just wanted to put that out there.

 

I'm not saying to get rid of the wood heat altogether,...But it would be a way to keep things from freezing up when your gone,..

 

If anyone reading this wanted to just live in a truck, then getting a "permanent address" would be as easy as $100 a year......

These are not that complicated. It looks like a flat extension cord with a regular 3 prong plug on one end. That'd be kind of like hiring an electrician to plug in a string of christmas lights for you.
