Heat strip
Anyone put a heat strip in there Coleman AC? Is it worth the money or just a waste of money?

we have one in each of our trailers. Only you can decide if it is worth it.
The heat strip is about the same as a small portable heater for output, 1500ish watts, or 4500ish BTU. Don't expect it to warm up the trailer much, but it usually will hold the temp. Advantage is that with ducted air, it will circulate air to the far parts of the trailer. Downside is that the noise is about the same as running the AC, quiter than the gas furnace,noisier than a small portable electric heater. Disadvantage is cost.
