Space heater

We've just bought a new 2011 Cruiser 325CK fifth wheel, without the electric fireplace. We figure to use small space heaters on nights that are a little chilly but not cold enough to fire up the furnace. Anyone else out there use 'em in their trailers? Any recommendations or thoughts. We have a small Pelonis ceramic disk heater at home that draws 12.5 amps and does a good job heating a small area when we're watching TV or some such at home. We figured to use two of those in the trailer to take the chill off. Anybody have any experience with that strategy?

If you are going to use one in the living area and one in the bedroom area at the same time make sure you check the circuit breaker wiring if you have 50 amp service. On our trailer they had the front outlets and the rear outlets both on breakers on the same 50 amp leg. I moved the front outlet wire to the other 50 amp leg so all the load wasn't on one leg.

I don't think the post above stated anything about melting wires. Check and see if you are putting 2 heaters or more on the same curcuit. The electric servive in your camper is the same as in your house 15 amp has 14 gague wiring 20 amp has 12 gague. If you over load a breaker will trip.

We have one of the oil radiator type heaters in the camper.  We find that it is completely quiet, takes just a short time to heat up but gives out a much more even heat as it cycles.

Ditto on the electric heaters.  We have the same as Matt & they kept our RV warm, when the outside temp was 22 degrees.  I just sat the furnace on 46 degrees & it never came on, as both heaters cycled all night.  I was more worried about the water hose freezing than the heat, but it was ok too.
