Oil Filled space heater

My mother has been using Oil Filled space heaters for years and years. She has 3 of them in her house. Leaves them on 24x7. In 20 (plus) years, she's had only 1 fail. It died, would not heat any more.

They should work fine in an RV as well.

Suggestion: If you are going to run a separate electric heat source in your camper, run a separate electric cord to the campground pedestal and plug it into the 15-20 amp household style receptical. This way, it won't draw amps through your camper, using up precious 30 amp or 50 amp power.

If you decide to run 2, run two separate extension cords outside the camper and plug in to the shore power pedestal. 1500 is a LOT to draw and you run the risk of popping breakers. Popping won't hurt anythng. It's designed to so. But it's frustrating not being able to keep and maintain the electric usage you want. (and the aggrivation of fumpling around in the dark to re-set breakers.)

It should be plenty safe, using the standard space heater precautions :) Don't let anything drape over it, or have in a place you can tip it over.

I use one in the basement office at home round the clock, even in the summer because it curbs the over zealous house AC that is hard to regulate in the basement.

Yes it runs 24/7 when needed. Mine is just 1200 watts.

We use ours in the Rv and sleep with no issues. We have one with a fan and the other one does not. Both work without any issues with us.

I have one in all 9 rentals {Park Models} in Yuma. They take the chill off at night in Dec and Feb. They don't put out much heat when you start them up but after the oil warms up they work ok. Never had a problem using them in 16 yrs.
It is the renters choice if they use or not and they pay the elect that they use. Much cheaper then forced air heat
