Lasko ceramic space heaters?

[drhroo]

Anyone use these in your RV? Our heater doesn't quite get the job done in the morning. Especially at the end of the trailer away from the heating vents. It would be nice to have something on that end to give a boost in the morning.m We have a couple of the larger Laskos at home. Thinking about a small one for the trailer.

We had a small one in our pop up. Worked wonders!

We've been using this one, works great for the colder nights. With the heater, PUGs, and reflectix, keeps the Roo pretty nice even in late October.

I used to use two of the small heater in our RV. Last winter we bought this one:

It does not get hot to the touch (have a 2 year old) and will heat our whole trailer on the low setting to the point where it feels like we are on fire...

We use this one with hook ups;

And a little buddy heater when dry camping:

We used to use the Mr Heather Lil' Buddy in our PUP as well. That thing was great!

I use the tower model, about $90, and it works great. Set it up on the island, turn on the oscillator, and we are nice and warm!

Here's the heater we use. It fits perfectly against the island in our 23IKSS.

Run an extension cord out of the corner of your slide and plug it into the 20 amp outlet at the pedastal. Plug your heater into that and you can run everything else in the RV without worrying about overloading the 30 amp side of things. Works for me.

We have used a ceramic heater (got our last one at Walmart) in our campers for years they work great, but use common sense when using them as you wood at home.

x2...When spring/fall camping in Michigan, if we have a "cool" night and don't want to run the furnace, we often run only a ceramic heater, on low, just to take the sting out of the air.

We use the Eden Pure exclusively, it doesn't get hot to touch and is remote controlled. On real cold nights in FL, I just move it over to the furnace intake and turn the blower on the furnace (burner not on) and let the furnace blower circulate the warm air throughout the 5er and basement.

Thanks for that tip, OC. That is a much better approach I'd not thought of for balancing things out in the TT.

You do have to put a separate switch on the furnace blower to make it run without the burner being on.

Yep, makes perfect sense. I should have thought of that, but then I'd be putting you out of a job.

I'm sorry OC, but did you just say "real cold nights in FL?"

I certainly did, on more than one occasion it has gotten down in the mid-lower 20's which is "real cold" for FL. We lived in northern IL where it stayed for days in the 0 to below 0 where we lived in an 8'x32' house trailer in Moline, IL

Just pokin' fun at ya... Most people don't relate "real cold" with Florida, but you are correct, it has it's moments of cold and real cold weather.

You might want to Make Sure that you Mount that Little Buddy closer to the Floor than your Sleeping Bunks.

Approved for indoor/outdoor use; clean-burning; nearly 100-percent efficient
Auto shut-off if tipped over, if pilot light goes out, or if detects low oxygen levels

Low Oxygen Levels are just a "Proxy" (and a rather poor one) for Carbon-Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide Sensors. Both of those Deadly Poisons produced by your Propane Burning Heater are Heavier than Air AND can reach Dangerous or even Deadly Levels while Oxygen Levels are still "almost Healthy".
This is one of the reasons that Carbon Monoxide / Propane Sensors are Mounted as Low as Possible to the Floorboards.
