Hi,
The Espar heaters are a "delux" item and I'd love to have one. I'd have to use the gasoline version. However, since the campground includes unmetered electric, I'm better off not burning fuel that I have to pay for.
At 4500 watts I'm extracting about 15354 BTU's. At 7000 watts, about 23884 BTU's (more than the total output of the propane furnace).
If I could find a location where there were three 15 amp circuits I would not have to be paying the campground $265.00 per week.
It is -9 C (16 f) and the float voltage for the battery bank is 14.1.
