Small space heater

I use a Broan "Big Heat" 1500/1200 watt elec. heater. It's compact size is easy to store, yet it put's out a lot of heat. It measures
6"x6"x5". It is available thru TWEETY's RV supplies on-line,cost is $58.80. Part No. 6201

We keep one of these in the trailer...does well for a small space.

This one works well in a small space:

Parabolic dish heaters work by focusing infra-red waves. The theory actually works. These heaters deliver heat that warms objects as well as warm the air. Not ideal for everything but nice to know they do what they do.

And noisy as all get out. :(

A ceramic heater is one item I'd never buy online - you gotta go to the store and listen to it. A noisy fan that's barely noticeable during the day will sound like Niagara Falls in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep so the less noise the heater makes, the better. For those who prefer a little white noise while sleeping run a small fan on low - it will also help to better distribute that warm air generated by the heater. :B

Buy most any small 1500W heater at WalMart or similar outlet. Take it home and if it's too noisy take it back and get another. They all work pretty well and the prices are all over the place. I have both ceramic and non and they both work very well and both are very quite.

I've installed in 2 mh what's called a "Toe Kick" heater, it's a miniature electric furnace. You put a t-stat where ever in most practical. They are quieter than the gas furnace.

The oil filled space heaters are my choice, no fan, once they warm up they cycle on and off like a furnace, and they are safer with pets since there are no glowing metal parts out there for a tail to get into.
They do take a little longer to start heating a room though, 10 minutes or so to start feeling the difference.

I use several like the LASKO that someone linked to on Amazon.. I like the ceramic types (Smaller) over the hot wire types

One caution though is that RV Wiring in many cases is not up to a constant 1500 watt load.. I installed special outlets with 12ga wire wrapped around screws to power my Heaters.. Work well no smell of hot wiring, no burned connectionsm no fires so far (12 years)

a good selection at walmart, and good return policy. I much prefer the ceramic ones myself.
