I have a 37 foot motorhome I live in year round. Last winter I used two 1500 watt heaters. Will this 1 heater warm the entire R.V.?

How did the two heaters work out? I'd imagine it to work well, depends on total square footage, yet Im not too sure how it will match up against two 1500 watt heaters.The thing I did like about this heater is that it doesn't dry out the air, and also has temp settings. If the area is a medium space, you should be fine.

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

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.

It is a little too powerful for an RV. I'd look at a couple smaller units rather than this one big unit. We use it to heat our 3-car garage. In a small space it would be WAY too hot near the unit.

No, it won't work. It's impossible to quantify that answer, because you don't specify how much current you will draw and for how long. Generally speaking, it's always better to conserve heat than try to make more. So get a good sleeping bag; that is the appropriate technology. Then you will still be warm in the morning.

No Sir, it would run at twice it's rated amps and the heater would burn out quickly, if not immediately.

This is a really small heater. It works great to keep my feet warm under the desk while I work on my computer. The heat doesn't reach for any distance from the heater. So if you need to cover a wider area in the RV it maybe not enough. If the tanks and lines are close together then it maybe enough to keep them thawed.

Nice safe heater, however not sure it would warm that large of area. I own two.

If you have the typical 50 amp RV service, it will work. I just installed one in my motorcoach and it is working perfect. It will charge your house batteries for your 12V lights and could run your heater, depending on the size of your heater. My RV doesn't have electric heating.

I think so, Patricia. It's a little hard to say, because we're using it in a motorhome, so it comes on a lot more than would be necessary in a house or a more airtight room of any sort. But I would say it's energy efficient due to the fact that it is such an efficient unit in itself. Unlike most small 1500 watt space heaters that heat up only the first six inches in front of it, with the same wattage this heats the whole place, mostly on the low setting (750 watts). Or you can warm things up in a hurry on the high setting at 1500 watts. And the big plus is it has a thermostat. You just turn the dial till the heater shuts off when you're comfortable, and it will cycle on and off to accommodate that temperature. We love it.

No. It only just warms but that could be because of our different voltage here in Australia.

This is the second panel I have purchased for an RV that sits fir several months at a time. I have not had any luck with either a 15w or this 30w. I suspect it is because I have a power leak in the system that drains the battery. If you buy this panel you should also install a switch that isolates the battery when not in use. That is what I plan to do this winter. I think it will work then.

I am not an electrician but I have heard an electrician in my office building state that most heaters use 1500W of power, and it is enough heat to keep me warm at my desk. I suppose if I was looking for a heating unit at my house since it does not have central heat & air then I would go with a product that produces more heat but costs more.

No, one of these heaters will not heat two bedrooms during the winter. No way at all.

Sorry I hit yes when I wanted to hit no. The heater can draw 21 amps if running at full power. I believe it runs at full every time it starts. It cycles often to maintain heat. The inrush current might be too high for the generator breaker switch.

Because it is a 1500 Watt heater, it puts out about 1500 Watts of heat. All the "quartz/infra-red/radiant" is a bunch of B.S. ALL 1500W heaters put out about 1500 Watts of heat - or around 5K btu's. Do you think 5k Btu's will heat 1,000 square feet? At what outdoor temperature? At what insulation level? How much infiltration? Face it people, a 1500W heater is a 1500W heater! Fans make make it seem warmer faster, but in reality, A 1500W HEATER PUTS OUT ABOUT 1500W! Certainly not MORE than 1500W's, ever!

I am using the heater 8 Hrs. a day to keep my TV room at 70 degrees. I can not say how much my electric bill has gone up because I have an all electric house and the weather this year has been very cold.

I Have the 375 watt tripp lite and the answer is still no. Your electric snowblower is 120 volt and most likely at least 12 amps at that voltage so 12 times 120 = 1440 watts minimum now if your snowblower is higher than 12 amps then the wattage would be higher. You would need it plugged into your home or plugged into a generator of at least 2000 watts maybe more.

Absolutely, however, 1500 watts is a lot for a small engine. I use a 1500 watt in my caterpillar loaders. Consider a lower wattage heater, unless you plan on needing it to heat up quickly. I use 400 watts in my smaller diesel engines, and they keep them toasty warm.
