RV fireplace vs 1500 watt electric heater

We are sitting around the fire at home and started talking about RV fireplaces and weather they are any better than a 1500 watt cube heater, We have the space ( just lose a shelf and have to move the woofer. For those that have both,what do you think?
  • First RV didnt have one, used a cube. 5er had it, benifit is its there, no need to pack it up, not in the middle of the floor, but I dont think I would spend the money to add one over a cube.
  • I don't RV in the winter unless I'm already in Florida, but at home, the builders built a wall directly over the heat ducts in the basement, producing no heat in my bedroom. I use a portable heater designed for milk cow barns. In the winter, cattle hate a farmer with cold hands. It has settings for 1300 and 1500 watts. It isn't pretty, but it does the job in a small space. Cost $40. One is small enough to take along in my 'C' in the future.

    Thanks for the comments , unless DW pushes for it I'll use the cube.


    May take some effort to trump "ambiance".

    Good luck..;)
