Installing Heat in AC Unit?
I just took the air filter out of my roof mount AC and saw a sticker that said something about installing the optional heater there. What is that? We never use the furnace for heat, we use an osci...

Guess we're the odd ones on this. We LOVE the small heating element in ours, just like the one shown in the CW link posted above.
This past weekend the temp dipped into upper 40's here in Western PA. This little bit of heat, with the vents angled downwards, was pretty good in the main section of our HTT. The bunks were a bit cool, but not worth firing up our Wave heater.
We do carry a twin electric blanket for DD or for a lap blanket for cool eves. It keeps her quite comfy. DW and I are usually fine for quite a bit lower temps than she is.
It's also a dry heat and can help quite a bit with dehumidifying the camper or taking the chill off a rainy day.
I do plan to add a thermostat/relay setup for this, though. Cool eves do not necessarily need heat all night long and right now I have to get up to turn it off when it gets too hot and turn it back on just before everyone gets up to have a warm morning.
We like it very much.
We have found that using a small fan pointed at the ceiling can help circulate the heat, as can bunk fans.
A separate heater can be fine, but the ceiling unit takes no extra space and is always with you ;)
