Questions on Lasko 1500 watt heater
I just bought a Lasko 1500 watt ceramic heater model 5409 to use in my Pleasure Way Excel. I plan on using the RV propane heater to get the cabin up to comfortable temps in the evening and then at bed...

We have a 2005 PW Excel and find most of the smaller fan driven heaters will keep the rv warmer than you need. The real problem is not lack of heating capacity but the ability for the thermostat that's built into the heater to accurately maintain the proper temperature. I find most of them to have wild swings of temperature in the order of 8-10 degrees fahrenheit. I've resorted to buying an externally operated thermostat which is much more accurate.
I am very familiar with the temp swing problem. We have a problem room in our basement, about 300 sq ft. Tried several types of 1500 watt heaters, including Lasco. All had the same problem Finally bit the bullet and got a Vornado. Pricey, but works like a champ, far better than any others we have tried. Keeps the entire room perfect. I don't know how it does it, but it works very well. I plan to use one in the MH from now on. I have no doubt it will keep our "B" toasty. The only downside would be that it is a bit bigger than the wally world cheapo's.
