Heating Your MH

Check out the "Vornado" heater with a very nice fan. Sure it is a 1500 watt heater but by design it is quiet, can be digital temp controlled and it is efficient with its fan design. They run about $100. but come with a great warranty and the company is located in Kansas. I had one for some time and then bought another when wintering in Denver. They are a great supplemental heater and far better than the cheap ceramic walmart type heaters.

X's 2! Quiet while on high, and the design really disperse the flow of the heat. We find that by leaving the unit set on medium overnight, and the thermostat set about mid way, we can keep the front of the coach in the low 60's even in temperatures of mid 30's outside. We place ours on the kitchen table, with the power cord up off of the ground out of the way for our dog who likes to walk around at night.

In weather where we don't have shore power, I'll set the Hydrohot on and set the temperature on the front heater zone to 50, and rear zone to 55. I'll get up around 5:30AM, and fire up the Heat Buddy (on top of the table too) I'll set this to the medium setting. The front zone of the heater gets bumped up to 65. By 6:30AM - it's nice and toasty in the front of the coach. I had a inside outlet tapped into the coach large LP tank, and feed the LP to the Heat Buddy with their hose and filter. (And yes, we practice very safe habits on using the Heat Buddy. And maintain our safety devices well.)

Finally, when we have Shore Power with a 50 Amp supply, we do turn on our floors radiant heat - very nice for the feet to hit when stepping out of bed!

Best to all,
