My TC just does not need a 3 or 4 foot heater with a 1000 watts. Even in the coldest weather my 600 watt unit is way more than I need to maintain 70 degree heat in below freezing weather. If you need a big heater to maintain comfort at 45 degrees you might want to check for air leaks and areas where the insulation could be improved. I have sealed the wheel well areas and added a carpet. Both made large improvements in the warm and comfort.
Hi Jim,
Really the only difference between heaters wattage is how fast it will bring you up to the set temperature. Once at temperature the heater will cycle to maintain the temperature. My S&S is a 4 season camper so it is sealed and insulated well. I have also added 1" Styrofoam to the entire underside of the TC.
