Looking for a space heater

I'm in need of a space heater that has a thermometer that can be set at 40-50 degrees. This winter is looking to be cold and I don't want to have to worry about the lines freezing. I'm hooked up to shore power so that's why a space heater would be great if I can set the temp low enough to have it run 24/7. I also don't want to winterize it because we do use it during the winter. Thanks!

A space heater is unlikely to protect the plumbing buried in the floors and P-traps from freezing.
You'd be better off winterizing.

My space heater with a digital thermostat, resets when power is lost! And does not restart when power is restored!

Works great when I'm in the camper, but not good when I'm noy.

Why not just blow the water lines and drain all the tanks HW and drain and FW. That is what I do here in PNW haven't used Pink Stuff at all with the Copper Canyon. Have done as many as four times in a winter.

since you have shore power just about any residential 1500-watt heater ought to do the job although you might need a pair. a 60-watt incandescent bulb left powered on by your water pump ought to be on your list as well.

I use the thermo cube with my oil filled electric heater in my off-road POPUP trailer.

This thermo cube turns on when the temp gets to 35 degrees and thens turns off when the temp gets to 45 degrees. I originally got this to run a 100watt light bulb inside the cabinet where my water lines at at.

It handles the 1200WATT Electric heater just fine...

I like to use the low profile DeLonghi TRN0812T Oil filled Electric heater which has no open flames or heater cores. Also has no blower which makes it silent running... To me this is probably one of the safest heaters you can have inside a trailer. I have no problem running this unattended...

Plug the heater into a Thermo Cube?
