[A/S] Re: Heater 22' Airstream

  Hi,. I have a 31 ft AS. I go out in the winter sometimes when it's 
darn cold. But for the temps down to the 30's I use electric heat. I 
used to use two 1500 watt electric convection heaters. The downside 
is haveing the heaters under foot. I did some exploring around my 
unit and came up with two good places for direct wired recessed 1500 
watt units. I went down to my local building center and found just 
what I needed. A heater that can be mounted in any position and they 
are made to fit into a 2X4 studded wall. That means the heater is 
less than 4" deep. I have one installed in the front part of the 
trailer and am very happy. The other will go in the bath area and 
will heat the bedroom also. When it is very cold I have to suplement 
with the catylictic heater or evan the main furnace. Having good 
fitting windows and doors make a differance. Evan the storage doors 
need to be air tight. I have an InTell convertor so I was able to 
seal off the old Univolt vents. DO NOT seal the battery compartments 
to the outside. The batterys must be able to vent outside. Good 
luck..... Arnie
