Hi rhagfo,
I live where it gets to -40. If the power went off because the cheap heat doesn't fail over to propane I'd have frozen water lines within a couple of hours. I work away from my RV for up to 8 hours. Lack of fail over is a deal breaker.
The other deal breaker is not being able to run on a 15 amp circuit.

Cheap Heat is one package, with different settings, there is now a add on unit that will auto switch from 30 amp 120 volt to 50 and 220 volt, thinking of getting as would save me a 20 amp breaker, and 20 minutes to change wiring.
The only time consuming part of my install was installing the gas/electric switch next to the t-stat, required locating a spot between the FW and Black tanks to bring the cable to the underbelly.
To me the auto switch over is a no big deal to me, get out of bed flick switch, get back in bed.
