 Topic: Small electric heatersPosted: 18 Jan 2017 at 11:22pm |

Hi all,
We are new Rpod owners, and are interested in buying a small electric heater of some sort to use when we are at a campground site with electricity. We are looking for recommendations from anyone using those little cube type heaters, or any other heater of a small size. Thanks to in advance for any responses.... Steve

Be sure to get a ceramic heater. No hot wire smell. I got mine from sears. Two speeds, thermostat, tip over protection and ocelates. Sorry, my spell checker was no help!

Yes, many of us use 1500w ceramic heaters to keep the POD comfortable in colder temps.

Any 1500w (they are just about all 1500w) ceramic heater will work fine. Pick one with looks or features you like. Walmart, Target, just about any hardware store.

We use one too. I think the 2 most important features are a thermostat and auto tip over shutoff.

I use the Broan 6201 Big Heat, small cube heater (6"), with low and high selection, 1500 watts max and thermostat. Has overload protection, made of metal, about 45 bucks.

We have a Windmere. Measures 5.5x5.5x7, overload protection and tip over shutoff. Two ranges 1000 and 1500 watts. We usually use the 1000 setting as the 1500 tends to trip the breaker after 5 minutes.

I bought a small ceramic heater at Home Depot in March of last year on clearance for $12.00.
Amazing how well it works, but always concerned about something so potentially dangerous so cheap. And yes, it does have tip over protection. |
