Free Solar heat for your Motorhome, RV, Boat or House - Solar Heater build - Part 1

Our application is for our RV that we full time in. We travel the northern months in the Summer and the southern routes in the winter. We chase the sun. When building one of these, keep in mind that it will only work when the sun is out. Daytime hours. Our RV square footage is 300' with the slides out, 250 with them in. Stay tuned to how we incorporate it into our coach!

@Klubkid69 We will be in Texas in the spring. I have a new design that I'm testing that I'm not publishing yet. Perfect for Motorhomes and RV's. This box is currently for sale for what I have into it. $185. Its too heavy at 70lbs for what I want sitting on top of the coach.

Looks great! Might I ask what you used to seal the seams? Is it some kind of heat resistant caulk or silicone?  Thank you!!

@fjtoys Gotcha... I'll try and remember that and keep in touch... guess the Spring will be too late for the Winter to hit through us, but I'll most likely still be interested. Again, I'll try and stay in touch, I think I already subscribed.

Watch the plexi, it will melt. It's only good up to about 150. Made a test one about that size and the glass is now melted to the cans. LOL. Looks great.-Nate
