What space heater do you recommend and why? On the days where ya rig needs a little extra heat, what have you guys bought to take care of it? I'm in the market.

1500 watt electric resistance heaters are 100% efficient at converting electric to heat. That does not mean that they are the best or even the most efficient. 1500 watts of heat is equal to approximately 5200 BTU's of heat.
Now if you use a single hose heat pump, you can get 9500 but's of heating using only 950 watts of electricity because the electricity is being used to run an air compressor instead of being used as resistance only. The heat pump is much more efficient than a resistance heat source. Here are the specs. Portable heat pump
Unlike roof top heat pumps, the single hose heat pump draws air from the inside of the coach, and it will work just fine no matter what the outside temperature drops to. We have used ours in locations where the outside temps were in the teens.
