Can I run the diesel portable heater Travelbox inside my trailer with a window cracked?

Question:
Would it be okay to use the Travelbox 2.0 inside my tear camper if I leave a window cracked open for ventilation? — Greg W.
asked by: Greg W
Expert Reply:
No, I wouldn't recommend it, Greg, nor would Autoterm. The Autoterm Travelbox # AU36MR is built for outdoor use only. It exhausts diesel fumes, and even with ventilation, using it inside a closed space is risky.
You’ll want to set it outside and run the included 60mm duct in through a window or vent. It’s quiet and safe when used correctly, just don’t bring it indoors.
What type of trailer is this going on? Travel trailer or an enclosed diy trailer?
