I was reading the manual on the a/c and found out there is an optional heat strip available . Has anyone installed one of these ? Any feedback ?

I have not. There was a thread similar to this a while back and it seemed most of us use small portable electric heaters.....cheaper and less noise. Even the smallest ones are more than adequate.

I also recommend purchasing a small portable heater rather than installing an A/C heater strip. Because the A/C is ceiling mounted, the fan has to run to drive the warm air down to lower levels. My A/C fan even at lowest speed is loud enough to keep me awake and to cover the sound of the TV/radio. With a portable heater...no hassle with wiring...just plug in and get warm.

I like to use the electricity that I pay for when at a campground. The lp gas isnt provided so why not use what you have already paid for.

If I gots 'tricity... http://www.amazon.com/Sunbeam-Ceramic-Heater-Small-Room/dp/B004GBKPYK That little box will keep our Pod at +70F with outdoor temps a blustery 37F, on medium. It is about half the size of a standard toaster. If boondocking.. then gas it up..lol But you DO pay extra for a site with 120v, so might as well use it. |

Plus the LPG heater is rather loud, electric heaters are much quieter. I camped last weekend when it got down in the 40's both nights, I used the heater the first night and kept getting jarred awake. The second night I left it off.
