Howdy!

If you need heat you would be better off looking at a stand alone Mr Buddy or Big Buddy heater. We use a Big Buddy heater to heat our 5er instead of the on board which uses way to much battery power. You can use the small propane bottles, use a large 30# or connect to the onboard propane. Make sure if using it that you ventilate the RV as to not cause problems.
