Come on Bumpy...I watch TV programs on my TV...I don't watch a "crackling fire" and listen to Christmas carols unless it's Thanksgiving to Christmas....We get it, you don't like them...I have two 1500 watt ceramic heaters that I paid about $15 each for, but they don't do what the fireplace does. ..you don't like them, they're a waste, they're a joke, but it appears the MAJORITY in here LIKE them....So now that we understand you have $17 ceramic heaters, can the rest of us, and it appears MOST of the posters, talk about WHY we like them:

I think a lot of the "like" is because people spent $500 as an option for them and have to like them. I can see taking up the room in a 38 ft RV if desired but not in a small unit.

We love ours too for all the same reasons and because we don't pay for electricity.

Those who prefer the extra storage space instead of a fireplace now have a place to store their space heaters.

Win-win.

There is a lot of storage space in the space left without a fireplace. Since we live in ours at least 250 days a year and 6 months straight we use a lot of storage space. we had a tower type rotating electric heater in the 06 Montana 3400 that would sit in the rear of the 5th wheel and it did a better job of heating the Rv than the fireplace does. One of the reasons we decided to go with the fireplace was we got tired of that tower heater being in the way or taking up closet space. Everything is a trade off when utilizing space. We are really not in cool weather all that much which was the plan but the fireplace is handy to take the chill off in the Morning. Since the furnace heats up the entire 5th wheel we prefer the furnace for heating. We do not use that very often either. Our Electric bill is the highest because of using the A/C. My guess is that our fireplace ran maybe 5 or 6 hours in the 6 months of "winter" in Flor ida.
