Heating units in Aliner or Chalet A frames...
I would like to know from owners ..... how do these units do ? do they heat well when the temps are in the 40's? Please tell me which trailer trailer you have as well. Also...does anyone use one...

The A liners seem to hold in the heat really well. Much of the heat loss is actually from wind losses, and not heat leaking out of the insulated walls.
I think they have a smallish 16,000 Btu heater, and my buddy says his stays warm at night.
Personally I would not want a oil filled heater, even if they where not priced $40 more than the others. I use a small fan type heater, that quickly can heat up the area, and will be ready to put into the closet in a few seconds after shutting it off. It is small, quiet, and like said above, all 1,500 watt heaters will put out exactly the same heat. However oil filled heaters will take 15 more minutes before getting warm enough to start warming the room, while a fan type will start heating right away!
