A heat pump is economical to operate and distributes even dry heat. I had them on a prior rig and really liked it. It does not use nearly as much energy as a radiant heater or strip heat.
A Heat Pump will pull 1680 watts. I do not know of a Radiant heater for standard Household use that pulls more than 1500 watts. They use about the same energy, but the HP will distribute the Heat much better and thruout the RV unlike a Radiant heater. Doug
To be clear I should have said it is they are more efficient in that you get 15000 BTU with about 1650 Watts. A 1500 watt Hester produces 5118 BTU.
