Purchased a new multi-power (600/1200/1500 watts) electric heater for the camper. The old one I had ran on 2 settings 750/1500 watts. The old heater on low would keep the camper at around 58-60. The new unit on low setting is keeping the camper about 6-8 degrees warmer. I like it so far.

I believe this is the same unit sold by West Marine. I got this at Amazon Link

Cool! Can you tell me what the temps outside are when it keeps your camper at the posted temps?... thanks!

I filled up the propane tanks... and again looked at it and dreamed of the next trip!

High 30's low 40's outside, keeping it 64-66.

Not sure of the trailer weight. I'm picking it up today and will know then.

Mines already filled but I am dreaming about my first trip with it in the bed of my truck. [emoticon]

Went with a much smaller table to open things up. It's a 24" pine table, stained. Original table was HUGE and was hard to scoot to the back and kick my feet up. Just 2 of us, like the openess so far.

Nice looking table! I made a smaller one for mine, but it's a half round due to my dinette type.

Thanks. Yeah, I can just walk up and crash backwards into my corner pillow and kick my feet up now without scoochin 3 or 4 times. Most of the time I would just sit on the edge wishing this huge table was smaller! It's not as tall either, first trip next weekend, we'll see. It's sturdy and will hold my beer...

Looks GREAT. Thanks. Now I have another project. [emoticon]

My camper is 20 years old and some of the plastic is starting to yellow.

Thanks to who ever it was who suggested the Krylon Fusion for Plastic Satin Dover White Plastic Paint. [emoticon]
