Why are full size RV furnaces such power hogs? Our popup furnace will keep our camper (24' when open) at 50 degrees overnight when the outside is 30 for 4 to 5 nights (off in the day) on one G29 deep cycle! And we have ZERO insulation with those canvas walls. Just how hot you guys trying to keep it in there? And why? Get some blankets.
Or maybe popups just have magic furnaces...
while you may be 24' when open, you are only heating to 50 degrees. I heat to about 60 degrees.
Then there is the measurement, it isn't the length you are heating it is the cubic feet of space. I would guess a 24' TT would have at least twice the cubic feet of space to heat as a popup. Then a 32' 5er like we have way more cubic feet.
