Propex PS2000 Slimline Portable Propane Heater

Easy, Portable, Clean, Quiet, Reliable Propane Heat for Camp

Designed in-house, assembled, and supported by our local Fort Collins, Colorado team. The Propex PS2000 Slimline is our newest, most streamlined portable propane heater. It brings 6,500 BTU of quiet, dry, forced-air heat to small camping spaces without the fuel smell, noise, or cold-weather fuel-gelling headaches that can come with diesel heaters.

It is a great fit for truck campers, tents, hunting and ice fishing shelters, day camps, and other small spaces where dependable heat matters, and it ships high-altitude modified from our shop, ready for camping at 10,000 ft and above. Want permanent heat instead? The HS2000 (6,500 BTU) and HS2800 (9,500 BTU) are the fixed-install interior options.

Why Choose Propane Over Diesel?

Diesel heaters have their place, but propane can be a better fit for portable camping heat. Propane is a clean, convenient fuel source without the diesel fuel-gelling concerns that can complicate winter operation, and the Slimline keeps combustion separate from the air you breathe.

• Less fuel odor: Propane provides little to no fuel smell compared with diesel or gasoline-fueled heaters.
• Cold-weather friendly: Propane does not have the diesel gelling issue that can complicate winter operation.
• High-elevation ready: Ships high-altitude modified, so it is ready for mountain camping at 10,000 ft and above with no extra service needed.
• Quiet operation: An integrated muffler and full-length intake pipe help keep operating noise to approximately 65 dB.
• Dry heat: Forced-air heat without adding moisture from combustion inside the living space.
• Easy to take along: A compact aluminum case, quick-disconnect propane connection, and 12V DC power connection make the Slimline easy to move between adventures.

Warm, Dry Heat Without Combustion Inside

The Slimline is designed to sit safely outside your tent, truck camper, or other camping space, while heated air is ducted inside. The combustion process stays separate from the air you are breathing.

Propex uses a closed-loop forced-air heating system. Air from your living space is circulated through the heater, warmed, and returned to the same space, so you are not constantly pulling cold outside air in just to heat it. Fresh combustion air is drawn from outside, and exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, are directed outside.

Best for

Not the right fit if

• You want a permanently mounted interior furnace (look at the HS2000, or the HS2800 for more heat)
• You want permanent heat but have no interior room to spare (look at the HS2211 exterior/underfloor heater)
• Your space needs substantially more than 6,500 BTU (look at the HS2800 at 9,500 BTU)
• You specifically want the original Pelican suitcase design with an optional power bank (the older PS2000 Portable Heater System is still available)

Compare Propex Heaters at Mountain Time Campers

How to choose: Need heat without a permanent install? Start with the PS2000 Slimline, our newest and most streamlined portable Propex; the original PS2000 Portable Heater System suitcase is the older option. Ready for a permanent install? The HS2000 gives you 6,500 BTU in a compact interior mount, and the HS2800 steps up to 9,500 BTU for larger vans, bigger trailers, and regular cold-weather camping. No interior room to spare? The HS2211 mounts outside or under the floor and ducts heat in. Going with an HS heater and camping high most of the time? Add the High Altitude Modification.

Small Heater. Serious Heat.

At roughly 18 lbs before ducting, thermostat, and accessories, the Slimline is small enough to pack along without giving up useful heating power.

Built for Real-World Camping

Mountain Time Campers, the home of Propex in North America, took the proven Propex HS2000 heater and packaged it inside a compact, portable aluminum case. The result is a heating system that moves between adventures instead of becoming a permanent part of one vehicle or shelter. It is the streamlined successor to our original PS2000 suitcase.

• TIG-welded aluminum case: Durable 16-gauge aluminum protects the heater while keeping combustion air separate from recirculated heated air.
• Weather-resistant design: IP67-rated connections and a weather-resistant case help protect the heater from the elements.
• Protected combustion intake: Stainless-steel mesh helps keep bugs and debris out of the combustion tube housing.
• Efficient air circulation: Heavy-duty outlet ducting directs heated air where you need it, while lightweight return-air ducting improves circulation and efficiency.
• Portable propane connection: A compact quick-disconnect propane regulator and hose assembly are included.
• Easy storage: Inlet and outlet caps keep dirt and debris out when the heater is packed away.

Designed for Flexible Camp Setups

The Slimline is built as a portable heater for temporary use, not a permanently hard-mounted furnace. Set it up at camp, then pack it away for travel. The 14-gauge rear panel can help with short-term positioning on setups like a Hiker Trailer, Vanagon, teardrop Molle panel, or custom overland rig. If you need a true wall-mounted install, the HS2000 is the better fit.

For rooftop tents and similar setups, keep the exhaust pointed away from the tent. As long as exhaust is directed away, the heater can sit fairly close, about 12 inches or so.

Where Will You Take Your Heat?
