Quote from: movein69Unfortunately mine only has fan and a/c. We have the furnace, but I brougt a small electric heater last trip. Good thing because it got cold here in the south so we had to use it.
If you are cold in your bunkends, try running the Air V on fan to help circulate the hot air that tends to collect at the top of the box.:)

Wow - never thought of that. You don't think running the fan in cold air outside would make it colder inside?

The fan doesn't bring in outside air.  It only blows the air in the camper.  If you are sitting where the fan is blowing it will make you cold, but if you adjust the vents so that they are blowing into the bunkends, the camper will get warmer.  The heat doesn't like to move into the bunkends and the hot air collects near the ceiling.  The fan will get the warm air where you need it.  You could also use the "air shower" feature to blow the warm air down toward the floor.:)

Thanks, that should help then. Our PUP is small and when we had to use the electric heater, it worked perfectly (like 45 degrees out). - even the bunk ends. Could that have to do with the material at all - or maybe just the size? I know ours has either the breathable or non breathable material (the one that causes condensation)

The size of the PU makes a big difference.  The smaller the PU the warmer the heater will make it.:)
