I was on the fence about installing heat strips in my 4100 king. I didn't know if it would be worth the money vs just using propane on the furnace. I dont care about the electricity use since electricity is free at most of the rv parks i stay in.
I found the heat strips and thermostats with control modules for $380 shipped online and decided it would be worth a shot. Took about an hour for both units. It was a Very easy install.
After using them for the first few nights as well as the electric fireplace I am very happy with them. It has been down to 35*f for 8-10 hours at a time and they are keeping the trailer around 70*f.
I didnt want heaters on the floor in the trailer with my long hair dogs. These do not put out a lot of instant heat but if you give them time they slowly heat the air in the room until it hits the set temp. At first it feels like cold air but over time it gets warmer.
Maybe this will help some of you that are looking for other heating options aside from the furnace.
