the diesel heaters only heats the air, so moisture is almost zero... the furnace now, does the same...except for the noise, and the fact I cannot cover up the TT completely, since the furnace exhaust has the stay free...(or I will have no cover at all in no time ..

I put it at 52°, since less would not produce enough warm air to keep it free of moisture / condens...
Electrical heater would need to be quite big > 3kWh...

why heated the covered and winterized TT? -> because just before winterizing it, i discovered a water intrusion problem, and I want to be sure, it gets dried out completely the whole TT...

If the objective is not to "heat the interior" but to "dry the interior because of a previous roof leak", then why even use a heater? A dehumidifier would work much better, can be bought for around the same price as the diesel heater, eliminate the cost of diesel, and do a better job of REMOVING MOISTURE, not "HEATING MOIST AIR"....

I'd skip drilling holes in the trailer, daily/weekly diesel tank fills, worrying about the wind blowing the trailer cover over the diesel heater exhaust port (causing a fire) and just dry the air by using the "right tool for drying air" not a "makeshift tool that heats the air"....
