Fantastic backup heater

By the filter and connect to a #20 propane tank - it makes it so much easier to manage. This heater produces serious heat. We leave it on low at night and it keeps us warm in a 27’ RV. Not too hot and not too cold - just right. Even though it says for indoor use, we crack a window and have a carbon monoxide detector ready to go.

Best alternative to heat your home.

This was an upgrade to the same heater (brand) we have been using for many years. Our older model quit working so we chose this one and it lights instantly instead of having to click on and off to start the pilot light. It also has a fan on it to push the heat out faster and is optional to use.

Worth every cent

I’m using the heater equipped with two one pound propane bottles in my two stall garage that is very well sealed against cold weather. I was concerned there might be CO gas from it so I installed a precision CO meter near it to check the levels produced. After 30 minutes of running it on max heat the CO level registered 00.00 which means to me that as they advertise, it’s safe to use it indoors.
