Beating Winter Temperatures in an Enclosed RV Carport


The versatility and affordability of enclosed RV cover has expanded their uses beyond just sheltering vehicles to functioning as home offices, work spaces, and/or play areas. As these uses become more integral in work and family life, having the area in which these activities take place get shut down due to cold temperatures becomes less and less of an option. As carport designs continue to evolve, making them more like room additions than bare bones shelters, a variety of heating options has also developed.


The dedication for the project took place on May 26, 2011 with CEO of GE Energy Industrial Solutions, Luis Ramirez, joined by Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, along with GE and Inovateus Solar contractors and employees, to unveil the GE Electric Vehicle (EV) Solar Carport in Plainville, Connecticut.SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Inovateus Solar LLC, a national solar power distributor and integrator, recently partnered with GE Energy Industrial Solutions on the installation of one of North America's largest electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the GE facility in Plainville, Connecticut. The project is now posted to the innovative and educational Inovateus Solar PV PowerUp channel on YouTube. The Inovateus Solar PV PowerUp channel on YouTube now features 22 educational, Inovateus Solar product and project videos.Contact Inovateus Solar Toll Free at: 877-876-SOLAR (76527) Phone: 574-485-1400Schiffer Publishing Ltd.The carport incorporates GE's infrastructure technology, utilizing GE EverGold(TM) Safety Switches and GE Combiner Boxes along with the GE EV Charging Stations. GE's core AC equipment safely distributes the power generated from the solar panels. The GE EV Solar Carport connects to the grid, where it deposits extra energy and withdraws that energy when needed."The GE EV Solar Carport Project is an opportunity to deliver a truly sustainable electric vehicle charging solution," says Paul Singer, general manager industrial technology, GE Energy Industrial Solutions. "Joining forces with Inovateus Solar on the EV Solar Carport helped us deliver one of the largest carports in North America, and we were glad to have both their insight and their dedicated staff on hand throughout the construction process."

Gas heaters can generate heat from both fixed and portable sources. Natural gas and liquid petroleum supply heaters from fixed piping systems while propane and kerosene are carried in storage tanks. With any gas based heating system it is extremely important to ventilate the heated area as well as placing carbon monoxide sensors around the interior of the structure to alert occupants of any kind of buildup of the noxious gas. Of the four gas sources, kerosene carries a consistently strong odor making it probably the least desirable source of heat, especially in an enclosed or poorly ventilated structure.
