I am amazed at the hilarious posts here!
I only mentioned it for those of us that love the ambiance of a FIRE.
Sure a heater is a heater, but the fun factor of having a fireplace is fun indeed! I love my fireplace ambiance. ;D
Lately it's been chilly and I've enjoyed firing up the fireplace.
At night I sleep with cold air in the winter (minimal or no heat) and use a cozy toasty mattress warmer but once I get up I want to warm up the rig.
Typically my 1500 watt fireplace keeps the rig very warm and cozy. I LOVE the fireplace ambiance.
Last winter when it was super cold I would fire up the propane furnace to bring the rig up to temp, then shut that down and let the fireplace maintain the warmth. That worked very well and my propane usage was minimal.
The TINY fireplace mentioned in the original post is so tiny, it would fit in most RV bedrooms for those that want the romance and ambiance of a fire. It would also fit most anywhere in small RV's like my old Class C motorhome.
I enjoy beauty and function.
