I purchased one of the Frost King units (haven't tried it yet), but it doesn't look like I should get my hopes up there either.
For the heat source, I use one of those little 200-watt forced air heaters, like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XDTWN2/.
If the Frost King unit fails, I guess I'll just buy a project box and a regular thermostat and wire it to a 120-volt relay. Solving this problem shouldn't be this hard.

I keep a couple of 150 watt Halogens in the Coach during the winter, use them to keep the temp around 40, and the only problem is they are always on, even when it's warm out - found these on Amazon - just checking to see if anyone has used them?
If you have do they work? Would be nice to turn off the electric on the warm days.
What do you think?

I've tried them a couple times and, as the comments above and the online reviews would suggest, I have not found them to be very reliable. I went by the coach a couple days ago (temperatures in the mid-20's) and the outlet had failed and the wet bay was cold as a well digger's ... well, you know.

Looking at Amazon, the TC, Frost King, and Easy Heat brands of similar thermostatic switches do not have good reviews if you read thru them. I would spring for a more expensive digital, settable unit such as the Inkbird or possibly the Anself.
