We are considering this Heater for use in a 27' RV. Is it good for that use? .

We actually returned it because we had found something else before it was delivered...never opened it...I'll tell u it is hard to return and we had to pay to ship back because it wasn't delivered damaged or anything

yes, also comes with nice remote control for controlling temperature and on/off

Hi Jim! I'm not sure. It probably depends on how cold it gets where you are at and how open the space is in the RV. The space we use it in is open. It is about as long as your RV and 14' wide. We live in Montana where it gets good and cold, so it is not the only source of heat that we use. Hope that helps some.

I use my heater in my 25'x 45' garage as a back up and to help the furnace and it provides quick heat in the morning, I only use kero you can use diesel but you will probably notice fumes, I can't take the fumes its not as bad as a torpedo heater but I myself wont do it, try it if ok then do it

It would run a small watt space heater. I really depends how many watts your camper draws.

I used it for a while in a 26 x 26 with 15 foot ceilings and it worked but was probably eating me alive in electricity. I sold it to buy a Hot Dawg vented propane heater instead which works great for a space that size.

As long as you have the room and the water for it, it should work well. A truck camper might not have the room.The heater itself doesn't get dangerously hot, but you have to make sure you vent it to the ouside to stay alive

I m am heating a well insulated area approx. 12' x 12' and its the only source of heat. its always around 70 deg. and the thermostat is set at 2. I highly recommend this heater. I use natural gas. if there is a power failure it will continue to operate. I shut it down in the warm months and restaI heat an area 12' x 12' and its my only source of heat on that side of the house. I converted an attached garage into a bathroom and laundry room. with the thermostat set at no. 2 its always 70 deg. its running on natural gas. I am very satisfied with its operation and it will fully operate with loss of power. i rate it highly and easy to install I m am heating a well insulated area approx. 12' x 12' and its the only source of heat. its always around 70 deg. and the thermostat is set at 2.

We haven't actually used it in our RV yet, but other than Air conditioning, I think it would handle it.

There is typically a lot of current draw in a heater. I would check the spec sheet on the mfg Web site to see what this is rated at. Not sure I would feel comfortable, this is more for lighting and lower wattage items in my opinion.

Good day, I ran mine in a 28 ' RV for extra heat. Because it is unvented there is always a concern about low oxygen and excess carbon dioxide in a tight space. I had windows slightly open to vent. I was surprised how much condensation occurred on the windows too. It was nice and quiet. Always beware if the house is tightly wrapped in plastic that you have some ventilation good luck Mike

Greetings James, the room I have this unit in is about 2400 cubic ft and it does NOT keep the whole room at 65-70 deg only an area of approximately 8' x 8'. It really is good for a small bedroom. I use it to warm the sofa/seating area around the TV but beyond that I'd have to use the house heater. I got this to avoid having to use the house heater due to cost. It does the job for the small area only. Ciao, TLM

Remember, I'm no fan of this heater. It warms an enclosed room of 13x16 okay, IF it stays on for several hours. It will be useless in any open space such as a living room/dining room or large open family room. It would be fine if left on all day or night in an average sized bad room (with the door closed).

it sounds as if your trailer is not tight. if you are only using this unit to heat a small area rather than the whole trailer, it should work quite nicely. I use mine in a room that has no heat whatsoever and it does the job for me.

Actually, this space heater is not very good at all. It uses a great deal of energy and heats up only the small area around it. I would not recommend it.

This is a very good heater, but 37 foot is also a pretty good distance. I would say yes unless it got very cold, then it might not do the job as you want.What is very cold to me is low 30's and down into the 20's.I live in Ga. and thats what I call pretty cold. t. gray

I have had mine one year and have approx 60 hrs use and like it very much. It is much quieter than most similiary priced units (69)db. One caution DO NOT fill fuel tank to the top,it will expand ,overflow ,flood out and make a hell of a mess and be sure to get electric start,you will be glad you did.Runs A/c and everything in RV at same time. Great for use when staying overnite on Wal-Mart parking lots and saves lots of money on campgrounds! Enjoy!

Yes, it will. We use ours at our mountain cabin which is unheated when we are not there. We go there once a month or so (it is located at 5600'). When we leave the cabin in the winter, we antifreeze the unit by running RV antifreeze through it because you cannot drain it completely and it's tubing is small enough that water freezes in it. We have not had any damage to the unit by using this method. We used to use the Coleman unit but went through 5 or 6 of those due to freezing problems. You might be better off with a Zodi. Water can be blown out of them easily but they don't work nearly as well as the Mr. Heater unit. Yes, it will. We use ours at our mountain cabin which is unheated when we are not there.
