We have a fireplace in our unit because it came standard not because we ordered it special. Upon first impression we thought it was kind of a rinky dink piece of sizzle and not really needed and not really all that functional.
However, after having used the RV for several years, the fireplace is most often used with a fan to blow the hat toward the front as the only heat source used when we are parked in a RV Park when electric is included in the site rent. The imitation flame is kind of mesmerizing and sleep inducing.
We do have a concern about how really safe it is for heating since there is a whole bunch of combustible wood surrounding the fireplace unit. This causes us to turn the fireplace off just before retiring for the evening. We may just be paranoid.
