Whole barn(32x40x14)!
I started heating it with an Empire DV35! It’ll work with loss of power, just no blower! I keep the barn at 60*! The Empire does it easy! Likes the LP as much as the PW likes gas!;-)

If outdoor temps drop to lower 30s, I have a pellet stove! On low fire, it uses a 40lb bag of pellets every 24 hrs!

Using the Empire at 60*, the camper is 66*-68*…almost too warm to sleep! With the pellet stove on low fire, the barn hovers @66*-68*! The camper is then 68*-71*! Too warm to sleep! I then slide a barn window open and run a fan in the bedroom window! It cools the bedroom to upper 50*s! Good sleeping!
When designing the barn, the side windows of the barn correspond with the slide and bedroom windows! There is some natural light and some air movement if needed!
3” of foam in the walls, 4” in the ceiling!
For now, the camper is mostly kitchen and bathroom! As funds and time allow, I will build an 8’x16’ raised deck(12” joists) for a bathroom/laundry! Mating wall facing into barn will be kitchenette! Ceiling joists will cantilever over kitchenette 20” for cabinets! Deck of ceiling over mud and bath will be storage(@8.5’x24’)! Once all that is done…hoping by spring/summer, camper will move out to make room for open floor plan! Bedroom, living/office space! Work shelving(HVAC) and shop space will be shared for simple vehicle maintenance! Eventually a 24’x40’ leanto will become shop/garage! A covered pull out area for the TA will be last! Time and money…
