Diesel heater through wall on enclosed trailer

[Johnksully]

I'm going to get a diesel heater to heat my converted enclosed trailer...I'm sick of fighting propane at elevation. Has anyone found a good way to run the heating tube into their trailer? I don't really want to cut a hole through the wall. I do have the air vents that I'm thinking of converting to an adapter through the wall.

Nothing to really add other than I would love to see some photos of your conversion.
Been on my radar for a few years.
Thank you.

Mounting underneath and routing heat through floor isn't an option?

My conversion was pretty basic since I still use the trailer for other trailer stuff. Insulated the walls and ceiling with 2" foam board. Installed a Renogy 400W solar panel system with a 2000W inverter linked to two 100ah lithiums for power bank. Then I installed two queen bunk beds on e track rails.

Perfect. Thanks!

Through the floor is probably going to be my best option.

I went through the floor with one of these from amazon.

One screw cap is put in place while not using the heater and one screw cap was cut with the heater vent attached to it and power run through.

I mounted the heater inside my trailer and ran the exhaust down through the floor. Sounds like you want to keep the heater outside your trailer and just duct the heat into your trailer?

I cut a hole in the floor towards the front of my trailer. I kept the piece I cut out and placed a thin piece of wood over it and screwed them together. This keeps it air tight when I am not using heat but easily comes out. I spent zero dollars. Plus it keeps the heater noise and diesel out of the trailer. Works well for me. My heater also just fits underneath my trailer and keeps moisture off it.
