Just returned from two weeks camping at Oregon's coastal State Parks. They are so very nice and in April they are not crowded. Came home to find the Baseboard Heater I ordered (Dimplex Linear Proportional Convector Heater) had arrived. Sure wish it had arrived before we departed. Oh well..anxious so got right to installing it. It is a good looking 750 watt 120 volt AC heater with a built in Electronic Thermostat. I wired it into the Air Conditioner Breaker as both will never be used at the same time. Since so many state parks and other locations have Electric Hookups this should be really nice. Even our Honda EU2000 could run it if desired.
Credit goes to "skipro3" for the idea!!!
Make sure you check the overhang above the heater. Any area over those outlet vents will get very hot. I fabricated an aluminum shield lined with heat reflective tape to install above mine. The heat is now deflected out and away from the carpeted overhang that I had to contend with. Best way to check is to just run the heater for 15-20 minutes and check the area above by touching it.
