homelesshartshorns Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I would think with all the modifications and electric and gas bills it would be cheaper to move to warmer area and boondock....Isn't that that idea of Full timing??

skp51443 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I would think with all the modifications and electric and gas bills it would be cheaper to move to warmer area and boondock....Isn't that that idea of Full timing?? I always figured it was being where I wanted to be, if it is cold and I need to spend a bit to stay warm or if it is hot and I need to spend a bit to stay cool are just two of the factors to be considered. Anyone having success with the Eden Pure Heaters?.. the Gen 3 or 4? (Loved that candles and Terra Cotta pots idea!!) Eden Pure seem overpriced to me, 1500 watts of electric heat is the same if it comes off a $9.00 hotplate or a $1500.00 gold plated super heater.

moonlightrunner Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Divide cost of Propane per gallon by 22 to get equivalent cost of electric. If propane is cheaper, then use propane. If electric is cheaper, then use electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLYLEN Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 You can't move without a dolly? One drive the RV one drive the Towed. Az and all but no heat in the winter is not far away. Add vent pillows to the list I can't believe how much heat goes out the closed vents. LEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Grants is going to be cold. Coming down even a hundred miles to Deming would make a big difference. Maybe someone could drive the car for you? If another couple were headed out to AZ or TX, one could drive their rig and the other your car with really no inconvenience or big change of route. Deming has many inexpensive parks and is a great place for the winter and is big enough that you might find a small job. Just a thought in case this is possible for you.

TXiceman Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I like the logic of north for the summer and south for the winter. Ducks and geese have been doing this for many years and it seems to work for them. ken Amateur radio operator, 2023 Cougar 22MLS, 2022 F150 Lariat 4x4 Off Road, Sport trim <br />Travel with 1 miniature schnauzer, 1 standard schnauzer and one African Gray parrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa_desert_rat Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 As a point of information, the oil filled heaters heat no better than the cube size quartz or ceramic heater. 1500 Watts is 1500 Watts and about 5100 BTUH. The ceramic type with a fan allows the heat to be directed or blown about. With an oil filled, you are dependent on radiant heating only. Ken I prefer oil-filled radiators. The efficiency of both ceramic type and oil-filled types is about the same (100% or very close) but the oil-filled types seem to keep the entire coach warmer over a long period of time with no noise and no feeling of cool air blowing on me. (Of course, no feelilng of warm air blowing on me, either.) But in the bathroom before I shower I use a ceramic type with a fan. It doesn't have to warm up the entire bathroom to keep me warm, all it has to do is blow warm air on me.

jeb101 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 It would for skinny people, at 300+ pounds I pop the little bubbles when I stand on it. :-( Just the other day saw a report that bubblewrap will now have non-popping bubbles. - jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
