RV electric fireplaces are about 5000btu and heat ONLY in the location area of the Fireplace. A Roof top RV HP will be either 13,500 or 15,000 BTU of heat and will distribute that heat more evenly thru out especially if ducted. The fireplace will pull about 12 amps versus about 13 to 15 amps of the roof HP. So, it is better to have the dollars spent on a HP. Doug
