Adding electric heat to coleman Mach3+
Any one ever added electric heat to there rooftop unit? curious as a option to heat up the camper a bit with out the need of gas. Just curious if anyone uses it and the results.

There are advantages to both approaches. BUt overall, long term the heat in the TT will be the same.
Incorrect. Warm air rises - a heater situated on the floor is generating heat where it's needed, warming the interior of the camper and occupants as it rises and is distributed about the camper. :B An A/C mounted heater is generating heat where it's not needed, at the ceiling, where it's trapped and there is no one to benefit from that warm air. :( The only rationale I see for an A/C mounted heat strip is for blowing warmed air into the bed ends of a hybrid trailer, otherwise it's a useless exercise in futility when a $20 floor situated electric heater will prove far more effective at distributing warmed air where it's needed.
