<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hi Mark,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I own a pelonis heater, which I use primarily to heat my sail boat in the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;wintertime. I keep the heater running at its lowest power setting when I
<DIV></DIV>&gt;am not on the boat to keep the fresh water tank etc. from freezing.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;What is nice about this heater is the way how the thermostat regulates
<DIV></DIV>&gt;heat output. Instead of simply turning the unit on or off (like on most
<DIV></DIV>&gt;other heaters), the thermostat continously decreases and increases heat
<DIV></DIV>&gt;output to maintain the set temperature by the thermostat. This method is more
<DIV></DIV>&gt;efficient than a simple on/off operation.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;This heater works nicely in a Vanagon as well. I used it camping out over
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Xmas in Quebec a few winters ago in my bus when it was -20F outside. Off
<DIV></DIV>&gt;course you are limited to an electrical hook up for 110VAC.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I saw a pelonis ceramic heater for sale at camper world for about 80
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; dollars...

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; A quote on the box was saying this guy saved alot of money on propane
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; heating his RV...
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Has anyone ever used this. It was claiming to have a great thermostat,
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; better at regulating temperature than a lot of other thermostats because
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; theirs was external... and not constantly cycling on and off with
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; cold/too hot spells..
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; The thing was honey combed...
