Good heater for small RV

I bought this because of its low energy demand and lack of fan noise. It heated our 20' camper trailer very well without blowing any fuses. I would like it better if it didn't get hot to the touch, but haven't seen another heater with the features I wanted.
The fuses in my apt building blow pretty easy. This one has a low enough power draw that it's no problem---keep in mind that this means it's only suitable for really small areas. I use it to warm up the bathtub overnight so I don't freeze in the shower (remove heater before showering obviously). The only downside is the feet, as others have noted. I didn't trust them. They're just too flimsy and seemed like they would melt. I replaced them first thing with some scrapwood and four T-brackets, after bending the top of the Ts upward in a vise to hold the heater and screwed the long part of the T into the wood. I ordered the slightly damaged open box version when it was available and the damage was barely noticeable---a real bargain!

Excellent heat output, definitely would recommend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Our office was unbearably cold and this unit keeps me toasty warm tucked under my desk. My only negative comment is that the unit itself gets hot to the touch - you wouldn't want it around for children to touch.

The unit heats well. It's design means that it wobbles very slightly on its' little feet. Because it heats well and is space saving I would recommend it, not sure I would leave it on if I'm not home.
