Best portable heater (30 amp) for my rv?
Would appreciate anyone who has a ceramic or other type portable heater to chime in and tell me what brand they have and if they feel it does a good job heating. My rig is a 32 feet Class C. thanks...

My preference is for no one type.
If there is a frozen compartment--a radiant heater is best. I've been able to meld the ice on the seal.
If there is a cold floor--electric heated carpets are best.
If there is room in the bedroom, a pair of oil filled, one on each side of the bed, may be the most comfortable.
If size is a concern, then fan based ceramics work a charm.
I keep a 240 volt incandescent bulb fed with 110 volts, on a mechanical thermostat beside my water pump.
To heat 100% electrically, replace the cold air return grill on the furnace with a twindow fan. In my RV that keeps a small amount of warm cabin air circulating through the duct work for the furnace, preventing plumbing system freeze ups.
My peak wattage in the deep cold is 7700 watts, and the continuous load is 5.4 kwh.
I do use my autoformer to keep the voltage up, so I get the full number of watts from my various and sundry heaters.
I've boondocked at -37 c (-34 f).
