KING 1000 watt portable baseboard heater in the Truck Camper

Got a nice little portable electric baseboard heater for the Truck_Camper. This will be good for heating when we travel and have shore power so we don't need to run the furnace and use propane. It will also be nice for between trips to keep the Truck_Camper warm and dry when not in use and over the winter when it's cold and wet.
KING, 3 foot, 1000 watt, portable electric baseboard heater.

Looks like it takes a lot of very limited floorspace. But if you're happy, that is what counts!

If someone wants to use a regular baseboard heater mounted to one of the walls, any standard 240V heater will work in the camper when wired for 120V (only one leg hot instead of both). Just remember, a 240V heater wired for 120V will be half the wattage.

I prefer a small fan forced unit because it moves the air around and helps prevent cold spots plus takes a lot less room. Though the baseboard heater is noiseless though a slow steady heat.

And that's where it stays, in the middle of the floor?
