    2500 we really like it, perfect for me and the two boys on a queen size air mattress. Maybe I shouldn’t put the mattress next to the truck because both the boys have discovered the sliders thru the tent……..

    Had it on wife's Sequoia two summers ago for the New Foundland trip. Installing it was a hassle, and it effectively immobilized us. This summer we'll be taking our 8-person tent.

    Some.
    Be careful with the Buddy heaters. They have a low oxygen shut off, but they may still be able to run even after you start feeling symptoms of hypoxia. If I use mine, I leave a window and a vent open.
    I definitely prefer my diesel heater as it has separated sections for the burner and heater sides, plus it doesn't put a lot of moisture in my trailer.
