an
 electric heater in their Westy's. I am thinking of 120 vac, NOT 12 vdc. If

 properly electric heat should have less hazards then propane or gasoline. It
 should also be cheaper.

 One heater I have found:

 120 vac
 12.5 amps
 1500 watts
 5,120 btu-Hour
 With fan & relay

 $115 >>

Wow!! That's pretty steep for a heater, doesd it make toast too? :)

We have a little "ceramic" cube heater, (ACE hardware, $15) with a thermostat
& safety cut-off (tip over & over temp) that we use. Takes up wee space: it is
about 5" cubed, and keeps the bus warm as toast. Buy a heavy gauge 12'
extension cord, too.

not thinking of heat right now,
