heating basement compartment - elec space htr


Dave Lefevre

Recommended Posts

I have a 2013 Class A Winnebago that does not have heated basement or tanks.  We are stationary for a couple months and will be in below freezing weather.  My compartments have opening to my tanks and previously I have used trouble lights in the compartments for protection.  I am thinking of getting two thermostatic controlled compact space heaters to more fully protect my tanks (not real accessible) and water outlets.  I am obviously concerned about fire but thinking a thermostatic controlled device might be OK.  

Looking for opinions>

If you do this, in addition to making sure that there is ample space around the electric heater, I strongly suggest that you install some of the wireless interconnected smoke detectors both in the bays and at least one in the living spaces. If one triggers all will alarm, which we use in the RV and also in our stick house.

Lasko makes numerous size/models of ceramic heaters.  The one you gave the link for looks like it would be perfect for the bottom storage area of a class A or fiver.

Dave, are you expecting temps in the mid 20's and lower?  If so are you also looking into a heated water hose or are you just going to run off your fresh water tank?

Wal-Mart now sells a Soliel heater for about $10 that is much like the Lasko Personal as an alternative. I think it is a 250 watt heater and I have seen it in many a Wal-Mart and own one.  I also own a Lasko Personal heater and have no preference.

Edit: Now on sale for $8 - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Soleil-Personal-Electric-Ceramic-Heater-250-Watt-MH-01-Black/54562671 .
