I have a 16,000 btu Atwood in the Adventurewagen. Thermostat set to 62 deg
at Leavenworth WetWesties campout a few weeks ago.  It cycled about once an
hour for five minutes.  I had to turn it down.... In the dead of winter, I
go out and fire it up 30 minutes before driving.  70 deg is very pleasant
when it's in the teens outdoors.

I might just bid on the one I linked to earlier.  Putting it into the Westy
would be easy and that way BOTH campers will have heat.
