RV Fireplace

Up until today I've been driveway camping. My 2010 camper has double opposing slides in the rear and came with an electric fireplace. I've been using it every day. I keep the furnace set on 65 deg for when it gets colder at night.

That all ended today once I winterized the camper. I figured today was going to be the last 60 deg. day we have this year so it was time to winterize and close up for the season.

RV electric fireplaces are reasonably priced, readily available and fairly easy to install. So, if you have a place in the camper to put it make the wife happy and go for it.

New 5er has the electric fireplace. Didn't think I'd ever care for it, but the camper came with it. I still don't care about the fake fire, but the heat it puts out is pretty nice. It takes the initial chill off and keeps the furnace from running so much. Now, when it gets really cold, that will prove how truly functional it is. Although, the label on it says it's designed to heat 500 square feet (approximately 22x22 feet), that I'd like to see when it's zero degrees outside.

For the OP, nice modification there! Good job!

Many have them. They are electric heaters usually 1500 watt that puts out heat along with the fake flames to look at. It is probably just a bit cozier than yours. We use an electric heater when it's chilly, so might as well be one that looks like a fire burning.

So Tim, I assume that couch pulls out into a bed, since you're going to be sleeping on it.:B

That works, no radiant heat though. You can get an electric fireplace in some RV's, also known as an electric fake flame space heater if that trips your trigger. In my case, it don't. Your version is much cheaper and does the same thing.
