Not arguing that 1500 BTUs setting can create some heat under mild conditions to be somewhat comfortable. But in reality not enough once outside temps drop and the winds blow along with the square footage you are trying to heat.
Based on my own experience, I have to disagree.
In windy 40 degree weather, I have used the 1500 BTU setting on my Olympian catalytic heater as the sole heating source to stay very comfortable in a 28 foot class A - with a ceiling vent cracked open for ventilation.
30 degree weather requires the 3000 BTU setting.
Naturally, I could have installed one of the larger catalytic models instead (or installed a second heater located some distance from the first), but I never felt like I needed it.
