good portable heater

[humpness]

workamping north of Seattle at the moment and I run the gas furnace as well as a 120v oil radiator heater. I got a big RV and Im going to need another heater so i can offset some of the gas bill. Any body have real good space heater that i should try out? The radiator heater is a bit weak, I might need something with a fan etc.

Generally electrical heaters end up costing you more money that running some type of fuel. It might not be in your case though because I'm guessing your running off smaller propane tanks. I use this one and I'm happy with it.

Just don't expect too much of it. The fan isn't going to blow like a table fan, but I haven't seen a space heater that has. I only use this heater out in a garage to keep me from freezing.

look at the one at the end of this thread. this is what we use in our trailer. We just leave it running all the time. No worry about fire or anything. It does not throw LOTS of heat all at once but it just slowly warms the area and then keeps it warm from then on.

We use a infrared heater with very good results. Very economical and puts out decent heat.

I have a large oil heater (110V) that's about 18x24x4 or so, and that thing will heat a travel trailer without issue, unless you're above the arctic circle in a storm or have missing windows.

I've used it to heat a 800 sq ft house when it's sub zero and the furnace crapped out (Didn't want to pay a holiday weekend service call).

Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector and adequate venting for whatever you use.

Except for the infared heater. no worries.

I have a oil radiator heater in my camper and it worked just fine even with temps in the teens in my camper this spring. The camper furnace burn alot of propane for the heat, but be carefull not to tax the wiring in your RV, there has been a few fires here.

We've used the regular Buddy, from Mr Heater, in our tent trailer. You can pigtail two of them from a larger tank mounted on the trailer and it will spread the heat out nice and even. Using the individual green bottles can get pricey, unless you have the adapter to refill them yourself.
