I have looked at these a couple times and they are nice , but like any wood burning stove the clearance comes into play.....basically the stove front to the wall is 2 feet and the added weight of fire guard on the floor and surrounding walls plus loss of square footage to operate it makes it tough to justify it...not to mention the cost of firewood.
most coaches have foam insulation and wall coverings are thin , I worry about fire and distortion of the foam and fiberglass panels not to mention removal of ash and hot coals prior to leaving if the situation arose

Very interesting, looks really nice---has some potential --depends on weight, cost, and how much one might use it. Probably would take quite a while to get enough fire going to heat up a space, where as with the furnace one could (as you and Linda often do) run one or two cycles with the furnace and able to get by the rest of the day. However It may allow you to boondock in colder climate areas. I don't think it's for me--but I can see how it would be attractive to some.

Hopefully Mrs. Bear II won't see these....I'd have to find room in the 5th wheel for one of these.
T've been looking for something to put in our patio for heat at our house. This is a nice looking unit and I like the idea of the radiant heat it would put out.

I have looked into them a bit, $3,500 is a little much IMO, even with the install parts. I am also curious about the BTU Claims, they also talk about producing electric.....I don't know?
I just got a promotional email about this product: The Kimberly Stove.
