The furnace went out on my TT this weekend; taking it in @ end of month for winterization/repair, but need opinions on safe space heaters to use until then?

Turns out I didn't need one; my thermostat was bad; furnace worked fine after I replaced it (whew!).

My pa-in-law is currently headed for the Atlantic on his 40' sailboat tho', and his heater went out so he got one of those little ceramic cube heaters & it heats up his cabin to ~74 degrees, so that may be an option if anyone has an emergency need!

We regularly use ceramic space heaters when camping instead of the furnace to save propane. This is the first time winter camping with our 255BH, but this is what we did with our previous camper, a Hybrid, during the early spring and late fall trips.

One thing is if you have 2 heaters, you can only run both on 'Low'. I've woken up in the middle of the night to cold trailer and silent heaters a few times before I learned this lesson. My Dad has a 5'er and has the same problem when he's running off a 30A circuit. I haven't asked him if a 50A connection makes it easier for him to run 2 heaters on 'High' at the same time.
