More for gas???? :yikes: I'll keep the Honda EU2000i and electric heater going instead...... Lol if that fails I'll just get a room!

at 0 degrees a 1500 watt heater just does not do the job...and you'll be filling the Honda every 5-6 hours...and the Honda will be running at almost full output... that is about 4-5 gallons of gas in 24 hours that equates to 12-15 bucks a day and you'll still not be warm... 150 heat days and the Espar is paid for...

I don't have a luxurious 10 ft sleeper like you..... Lol my sleeper wall is set 3ft behind the bulkhead the whole 3 ft area is also double insulated. I used the same heater and generator to heat the sleeper on my KW last year and that is 6ft and much less insulation.

I also have the remote 6 gallon tank for the Honda..... I'm pretty confident that this setup will continue to suit my needs just fine. It will take me much longer to recoup my costs than you since I am home much more than you. Besides if the heater won't keep it will give me a good excuse to get a room..... Lol

All one has to do is a thorough cost analysis over 3 or 5 years, including time messin' with it (filing gas tank or propane) and they'll see the Espar heater becomes hands down the most cost effective way to heat a truck or van.

::Waving back to Scott, but having to do so from Chattanoogie:: Y'all.
