Hi, I would like to ask about the electric radiator style radiant heaters. We are going to do some fall camping this year at some higher altitudes and don't want to use the propane heater, too much. We have a 5th wheel that we will use and didn't know if using that style of heater would work well for us. At night we would probably take it to the bedrooml to use it due to it being a smaller area. Would like to kow the pro's and con's of that style of heater please. May post this in the tech area too but thought I would start here due it us owning the fiver.Thanks,Curly

They work well for us , plus the electric fireplace if you have one .

Before be sold the Sticks'n'Bricks we had three of them. They take a while to heat up, but once going they put our a lot of heat and will continue to heat after being turned off. Unless you're planning on fall camping in the Artic I thing it would do a good job if you keep shades down to limit heat loss from windows.

We use ours in a 30' class C. Just set it on a low temp and it keeps the MH just the right temp for sleeping. Michelle S. is right, it takes a while to heat up but it works great after that. We haven't used it in extreme cold-high 30s-low 40s.

I have a 1200 watt DeLonghi I got at Costco many years ago. I only bring it if temps are going to be lower than 40F and we will have hookups. I mostly run it full time to supplement the furnace to reduce propane run time. Has a thermostat to cycle the heat so it runs intermittent in the day and flat out below freezing overnight.Actually have not done much cold weather camping lately. Does supplement heat nicely when used. Adjust as needed.

Thanks all for your responses. I really appreciate them. It will be on my shopping list.Curly
