I spent most of the day finishing up the installation of my heater, since I was making a video at the same time I believe it took twice as long to put in the propane lines as it should have. But it's working in fact it's heating up the Arctic Fox as I write this. And so far I'm a happy camper. The heater is absolutely silent, uses no electricity at all, and according to the advertising is 99.9% efficient, which means that you get all of the heat out of the propane that it can produce. A trailer furnace is nowhere near that and one way you can tell is to go outside your RV while the furnace is running and feel what's coming out of the heater vent. There are some downsides to this type of heater but they seem pretty manageable. One thing is you have to make sure that you slightly open a window or a vent just a tiny amount to make sure that oxygen is coming into the room, the other thing is that burning propane puts humidity into the air, but in the places I've been staying I consider that a benefit. There is also a rumor that these heaters don't work very well at high altitude. I've read some people that used it in the mountains and said it was fine. I guess I'll find out this summer because I plan on staying in Colorado in the mountains. The heater is called a HearthRite, and mine is a 10,000 BTU radiant heater.
