I have two problems with cheap heat.
#1 no fail over to propane heat if power goes off. I know that is not much of an issue for most--but if you live where it is truly cold (-30), it may be a serious issue.
The #2 is that even the smaller cheap heat can't be run on a 15 amp circuit. The wattage is too large. That means no mooch docking in winter time.
I do have other issues, but they are personal to me.
It’s simply a flip of a switch. Running out of propane is a whole other animal but simply flip a switch resolves the others issue.
IMHO Boondocking is not a time for cheap heat.
And if no one is "home" to flip the switch and it is -30?
Propane runs out you are screwed. Power goes out, power comes back on it still works.
Ok you don’t like it that’s fine. Own it you may like it.
