What space heater do you have?
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.

Someone said 1400w is watts is 1400w is 1400w. Not all space heaters are equal. Ceramic heaters are more efficient than resistant wire so at the same watt rating, ceramic puts out more heat.
We use our electric fireplace most of the time but the little oscillating ceramic heater with the temp setting is nice. Warms a big area, very quiet and shuts off rather than getting you too hot.
The ceramic heaters put out the same BTUs as the cheapo hot wire heaters. They are all 100% efficient. The ceramics are more SPACE efficient. They can make a 1500w ceramic heater nice and small.
I bought a cheapo from harbor freight that is a lot like the one from Wal-Mart but is 1,3000 or 1,500 watts. The 1,300 setting is all I use due to the camper wiring.
The only reason I am tempted to get a more expensive unit would be for a digital thermostat.
