   Small 5x5 will heat the an R-Pod fine.  Mine has a heat setting and fan setting, so I can adjust both, if you get something bigger and have animals I would get one that turns off if it's turned over.  I put mine on the stove and point it at the bunks.   The floor is a little cool, but the dogs seem to be happy, and I'm not worried about it getting knocked over in the night.

P.S.  Realize this is coming from a person who RARELY camps when it's cold enough to need a heater, our definitions of cold may be a little different.  LOL

	No need to pull the fuse from the AC to just use the heater. You can set your thermostat to just run the heater if you want.

	We bought ours at WalMart. The price was right around $17.00, and it was rated for "small rooms". It keeps our 'Pod very comfortable in North Florida, where out temps must be very similar to yours.

	Welcome. Any cheap electric heater will work fine. I have a cheap heater which is keeping my pod at 70 F even though last night it went down to 9 F.

	Hello We are lucky to be currently living in Az where winter dosen't get below 30 most days. Last time we camped I pulled the fuse from the AC unit so that we just used the heater. We are interested in trying a ceramic heater. Any suggestions? I see that they cost from $20-$200 dollars. I would love to see what others have found helpful. bill and heather
