Was thinking a little diesel Monitor/ToyoStove, though both that and a pellet require electricity, but not MUCH. Either that or electric space heaters.

Small solid fuel stoves are available, but they're not cheap. They're designed primarily for yachts/boats.What do you plan to do for heat? I have been toying with the idea of a wood pellet stove for heat. According to the Gov, using wood pellets vs propane is a lot cheaper. I just haven't found a stove small enough.
I built crossmembers for the trailer so I would have a place for the camper jacks to affix to. The crossmembers are exactly the width of the inside bed width so they limit side to side movement. Two turnbuckles are used to pull the front of the trailer forward and down against the head board. Two more turnbuckles at the rear of the trailer frame pull back and down but I keep those a little loose to allow some give for bed flex.VPed, there's another idea I never thought of! Maybe I'll have to consider that...though I pictured building something with square ends/corners to maximize space. How do you secure it so it doesn't move at all while driving?
Could build a wood stove out of an ammo canWhat do you plan to do for heat? I have been toying with the idea of a wood pellet stove for heat. According to the Gov, using wood pellets vs propane is a lot cheaper. I just haven't found a stove small enough.
Could build it as a pellet stove instead of just a wood burner. That way it will keep going.Clever, but looks like you'd be feeding it constantly. Maybe not...I could be wrong.
The box from an M109..... But less insulated...Interesting! Considering that fits in the bed of a Deuce I could conceivably also have space to the rear to still use as a cargo truck? Anything longer than an S280, but as wide?
I'd like to avoid propane heaters for the reasons mentioned, probably electric, realistically speaking? Or pellet/wood.
