Upgrading To 35K BTU Heater For 24 Foot Travel Trailer In Northern Minnesota
Published 08/22/2025
Question:
I live in northern Minnesota and run my camper year-round for hunting trips. Will the 35k BTU Dometic DMC64MR be too much heat for a 24-foot travel trailer?

Chris, good question. A 35K BTU furnace will heat a 24-footer quickly, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing - short run cycles save propane. The only time “too much” heat is a factor is if your ducting can’t move the air fast enough, which can lead to short cycling, but I don't see that as an issue on your rig. As long as your trailer already had a 30–35k BTU unit, you’ll be fine with anything in that range of 30-40k. I think the Dometic RV LP Gas Furnace - 35,000 Btu W/Black Door # DMC64MR would be a great option for you.
Have you ever had trouble keeping the trailer warm below zero?
And folks reading along - what size furnaces are you running in your northern rigs?
