Electric heaters
Does anyone know of a electric heater with more than 1500 watts?

Hi greenrvgreen,
Actually -37 c (-34 f) in the day time.
What you do to pressurize the plenum is replace the return air grill with a dual window fan. Mine uses a whole 27 watts.
I have it connected to a mechanical thermostat right beside the water pipes in the cabinet. Since I'm in a class C, when I drive the furnace stops running because of heat from the cab. I tried putting a 1500 watt heater inside the cabinets--I still had freeze ups. Since I added the dual window fan unit there have been none.

Of course Tuna is dealing with night time temps down to -30f, and I frequently camp down to zero--sometimes in a tent (with electric). I am a big fan of electric heat but my point was that currently only the LP heater is putting heat through the basement plenum, and on many RVs that is the only source of heat for the tanks.
My question is, if you don't use the cheap heat, how are you going to heat the plenum?
