What's wrong with using the furnace?
We originally bought the buddy because we only had one battery and no hookups. As soon as the sun went down at 4.30pm the temps would really drop off making it a long night to operate off one battery.
We started out using it when it was really cold out and we basically would dry camp with no water in our rv during our snowmobile season. The furnace would run almost non stop and became annoying over time.
We gave the buddy heater a try and just stayed with it. We do start things off using the furnace and once the rv is heated up the buddy keeps it topped off.
We use a small portable battery operated DVD player which is hard to hear over the furnace, so the buddy helps with that as well. It seems to use less LP too. Its a good back up heater to have, we always have it with us.
