I’d use it for a few minutes when I was getting ready for bed and when I was getting up in the morning. Total upgrade for my quality of life in sub-zero weather. Due to my limited use the little propane tanks lasted for weeks.","subreddit_name":"vandwellers","author":"xan-travels"},{"body":"\u0026gt; It's complete bullshit that we don't have another option to go with\r\n\r\nThere are so many solar companies you could switch to it's hard to even keep track of them all.

The amp load is too high. Even a modest 750w heater will draw over 60 amps (even higher with an inverter.)\r\n\r\nInstead, maybe look at [indoor-safe catalytic heaters](https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-F232000-Indoor-Safe-Portable/dp/B002G51BZU/ref=sr_1_12?crid=FFYER4AOYGLG\u0026amp;keywords=catalytic+heater\u0026amp;qid=1660927154\u0026amp;sprefix=catalytic+heater%2Caps%2C108\u0026amp;sr=8-12) if you just simply refuse to run the engine.\r\n\r\nThe reality is no matter what, you're paying for energy. Whether it's gasoline, propane, or the electricity to recharge a battery (which is really just gasoline if it's being recharged off of the alternator.) Unless you have a plan that involves solar energy, I think just idling the engine is the best idea.","subreddit_name":"CherokeeXJ","author":"Apotropaic_Sphinx"},{"body":"This is a great thread. Marking it for future visits as well.\r\n\r\nWe started in Rochester, NY. With the climate change, Western NY is seeing some colder stretches now, a few sub-zero days. Usually a week or two so far, with warmth following. Summers are getting warmer, too, with some short stretches over 90F. Since the area is metro-to-rural with a pop of over one million, there is work available if you want it.\r\n\r\nOriginally, I am from New Hampshire and that still seems to have four seasons. Right now 9th June), it is 60F to 85F with sun and rain alternating. Lotta rural areas and tradition, but I have not explored the work or camping scene. I have heard there is a labor shortage here as well, though.\r\n\r\nWe did Mr. Heater's Portable Buddy during some very cold days during our build. Even before the coach was insulated, that little monster raised our interior by at least 15F.  It comes with an internal regulator and runs off 1lb cylinders, so you have to bypass your onboard regulator (if you have one) to use the 20lb tanks. We did that without much fuss and the little guy seems even happier. When we finally post out build photos, Portable Buddy is getting a prime spot as we were able to work inside the bus from January through April mostly because of this heater.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B002G51BZU?ref\\_=cm\\_sw\\_r\\_cp\\_ud\\_dp\\_8GRMDEY9C2R4HNR3KCHJ \r\n\r\nWe are also looking for a decent spot to travel for our upcoming first winter in later 2022 and even for later in the summer/fall.
