electric heater recommendation?
Looking to get a small electric heater for our camper when we are in parks where you can't run the generator. Any suggestions on the best one? We have an AF1150

I went a different route on my 1150, and installed 2 baseboard heaters, both wired to a thermostat, that in turn connected to the Roof Air's circuit breaker.
Both from Home Depot mail order--
On the sink side, a 48" 1000 watt baseboard heater, and on the Fridge side, a 36" 500 watt.
(I only have the one pic handy here on my laptop, I'll look for the other side.)
Provided EXCELLENT silent heat, never got the cabinets warm. Thermostat had a minimum of 40 degree setting, so also made a good freeze stopper in the winter. I tapped into the existing roof air circuit breaker because, let's face it, when would i ever run the roof air and the heater at the same time? but I did, from time to time, run the roof air fan-only on low to help circulate the heat.
This was VERY easy to mount and wire, I'm an electrical engineer, but don't be afraid to tap into the breaker panel.
I had double pane windows in my AF, so if I were someplace with power, this was all the heat I needed--even camping in the snow/sub freezing temps.
