Is it effective for trailers? I have a old trailer furnace and our electric runs 600 in the winter. We are looking at changing heating methods

If you are looking to buy this brand, please DON'T. Mine totally quit. They are impossible to get in touch with. The heater can't be repaired. Believe me, I wished I had spent a few dollars more for a name brand. But to your question, a small heater would work in one room, but not the entire trailer. Again, please do yourself a favor and AVOID this brand.

I use in Yuma in a fairly large room works fairly well if you live in a place w/no humidity would prob. get one with a humidifier if not this should work fine have had no problems w/the unit

I think this would be ideal for trailers because it's a smaller living space.

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.

Hi, I'm sure it would help in a trailer, but a larger fan would do a better job. I can't feel a breeze at the doorway while this fan is on. Hope this helps.

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

I used mine for exhausting lead pot fumes so not much heat involved. But it's made heavy enough that it could be used to push heat from a furnace easy enough. If I had to guess I would say as long as the fan is running it would take 200-300 degrees easy enough.

Depending on the temp and type of fuel you're gonna use...It should perform flawlessly...I used mine in 15 degree temp with moderate windy conditions...I also used snow peak fuel.....So it should perform well....Also you might want to use a wind shield...

Probably will work, depending on the heating system. I am not at all familiar with RV heat systems. This needs a 24 volt common wire from the furnace controller, then the 2 wires to control the system. Seems kind of overkill, though. This has features for remote access from the internet ( through your wifi router, only if you have this), and programmable 7-day heat/cool cycles.

I can't really say. It seems reasonable and we used it a lot. Probably raised my electric as much as 50-60 in the cold times when it was running a lot. My mother in law was living with me up until recently and she's an electricity hog so I can't narrow down too well. :-)

yes it can, we have used it on our gas stove in our trailer, on low to med heat

I do not know the answer to that question. I bought the heater for my brother who lives in a trailer. He says that it works well, has never mentioned how hot it gets.

I can only say it definitely will run your air conditioner. Mine works very good with air conditioner, electric water heater, refrigerator and any other electric that I have on. I can only guess the choke may have not been opened. 30 amps is surely enough for a small trailer. Wish I could give more help, as it sure should not overload.

I think it would work as good on electric burners as it does on gas.it sure is good to have a low even heat on something that will burn easy

This will work with any heat only application, so should be fine as long as the electric is setup for single in-line power. Keep in mind the thermostat is battery powered, so you'll need to keep that replaced. I have this in our camper and it's about 3 feet from me. I can't say that I hear the on/off solenoid. So, however loud it is, it's not enough to wake me up.

Depends on how cool you want to keep it and how hot the outside air is. If it's in the 90s outside and you want it below 40 on the inside, VERY poorly. The CoolBot's effectiveness depends on insulation. In an uninsulated trailer, what will probably happen is the AC unit will just run on high continuously and the trailer will never cool down much.

We used our Mr. Heater in a camp trailer, but my husband is a fireman and I work in the Safety field so we too had reservations about this heater. First we burned a complete bottle of propane so to burn off any "new" smell, which we did not notice any. We also did not notice any fumes during use, but we always have some sort of ventilation. It is not direct flame and has a guard over the front, and if tipped over, it could probably ignite items if left for more than a few seconds. I would definitely place it on a solid surface. The heat source maintained our 28' trailer in 20 degree temps at a comfortable level. Reviews I read indicated this heater was used by many in a tent. Kids just add another dimension.

When I plug my trailer into a generator it works fine. If you were running the generator directly to the unit them you might have to take some precautions as to the correct wiring....hope that helps.

None really. Maybe a little warm. It says you can use it in a zero clearance fireplace. I'll have to tell you that the flame effect is perfect and you do get usable heat. Like any electric heater it uses a lot of current, but I think it's worth it.

I also have electric, and once you get your temperature adjusted it works just fine. It's just a little trickier adjusting the temp with electric because, at least with my stove, the heat switches are staged rather than infinite. Short answer? I got good results with electric.
