Only have electric heat right now. Rebuilding the propane heater, one that requires no electric fan, though we have small/ quite/ low draw computer fans to move the heated air to the back of camper.
Westend did a great job documenting the rebuild in his the Hilton so I'm following his lead.
Yup, the electric heating is nice if you have full hook-ups or like to run a generator. Good choice on the heater, the RV style are power hogs, noisy, and inefficient. The propane fired heater I use in the Hilton is now in it's third RV and I find it works out great. Yes, I've used small computer fans to distribute the heat but if camping for more than a day, the mass of everything eventually heats up so moving that hot air isn't a chore. Typically, when everything is cozy inside, the heater gets turned down to idle--just the standing pilot or a small flame so we don't over-heat. The air supply pipes to the heater also seem to help quite a bit. In previous installations, I didn't supply the flue so that any make up air was being drawn in, mostly around the door. That is now not the case.
Keep up the good work on Diddums, you deserve the results!
