Heater is too big, anybody using the dual speed?
The heater in my Bigfoot is 31K input 25K output. I don't live north of the Arctic Circle, even when cold outside it only fires up for a couple of minutes, way overshoots the set temperature. I have looked at swapping the parts out to take it down to 20K or so, if you do a proper job of it the parts end up costing half what a new one is.
Alternatively, Atwood now makes a swap in replacement which is 15K/22K input, less power draw. That seems like a lot closer to what I need. Is anyone using this or one of the higher rated dual speeds, do you like it?
How big is the heater in your 11 foot camper? Doesn't 31K input seem like a lot? This camper has the extra insulation and dual pane windows too.
