Very quiet, no fan, no problems in almost five years of use. Keeps rig consistently warm.

I like mine as well,5 years and going strong.

Just look up any heater (or anything else) on Amazon.com. They post reviews from the people that have them and unlike CW, all reviews, good and bad are shown.

We were loaned a 'used' DeLonghi radiator heater, don't know the age of it but it's older. We've used it ourselves for 2yrs. Love them. I agree with all the above, very quiet, very consistent heat. Upi cam read more about heaters on the 'RV Fireplace' post.

We use a Vornado EH1-0028-06 DVH Digital Vortex Heater. About $100 at Amazon. It does a very good job of distributing the heat & is very quiet. In the past we've used a couple of ceramic heaters, but the Vornado is quieter & distributes the heat better.

RV'er in Florida swears by the Voronado FAN for circulating the air inside the camper. Something about the fans, apparently you don't feel a breeze as they circulate, which is why I was interested. In the dead of winter I sure don't want fans blowing on me. But air circulation is really important to help keep the condensation down.

I didn't know they also made heaters but I like the sounds of how people are describing them here. I'm definitely going to check them out.

I've been using the "Presto Heat Dish" and am happy with it. So happy I bought a second one for the bedroom. I bought them at Costco for about $70CAD They are 1000 watt heaters and have ajustable heat settings.

Product Features
Focuses heat where it's needed most ... on you! -
Keeps you toasty warm so there is no need to heat the entire room
Because it uses just 1000 watts, it could help save enough on electric bills to pay for itself in as little as one year
Handy top-mounted thermostatic control maintains the desired temperature automatically
Illuminated Footlight® base tells you at a glance if the heater is plugged in (uses no more energy than a standard nightlight)

Try the Gen3 Small heater from Bio-Research, Nice even infrared heat from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. I use the larger one in my split foyer home and it keeps it comfy.
