Joys of full-timing in Canada

All you need now is to string some Christmas lights!

Yeah, but gotta save on power.
Was too busy saving pipes and awnings. Just noticed that Rhodo is probably going to snap. Better get out there again.

I was told that so-called "milk-house heaters" put out a lot of heat, and are good for trailers, by a Colorado rancher/RVer. They run on 110 volt. Careful with that awning! otherwise, looks beautiful in your last foto!

"Milk-house Heater"? I just spoke with a local farmer and he told me the only milk-house heater he knows of is the cow... Should I be parking one of those on my front gaucho? I'll look into that, cause one of my heater quit during the night. As for the 'rare happening', the forecast looks like it isn't going to warm up till after Christmas, so gotta come up with something a little more reliable.Christina

Is your forced air furnace not working?

I think this is what was suggested Feature Comforts at Lowe's: Milkhouse Utility Heater
Aloha 1500 Watt Milkhouse Heater, Model# 83030 | Heaters | Northern Tool + Equipment
This is a common type of heater and while not as small as a ceramic heater, cheap and reliable. Search for milkhouse heater.

Christina, I had very good luck with an oil filled radiotor style heater last year when I was using it to keep the trailer just warm enough to keep the damp out. Once they get started, they maintain a good level of heat without being dangerous to touch.

No, my forced air has not been working. And where I'm staying,, they preferred me not run the propane heater. Gotta work through that issue. Of course, I need a good alternative for when I'm gone. I'll be away a few days over Christmas, and wouldn't want to run propane anyway. Also, couldn't empty all the water lines with the way I'm set up. Growing pains, and learning everything the hard way. The oil filled radiator heater is great for the room, but doesn't help push heat through the water-line areas. I have gotten a hold of one of those milk-house heaters. Just nobody around here calls them that. All joking aside, I did research it right away. It's basically ugly, big, but does a very good job and is reliable. So that's what I'll use while I'm away. I'll also have someone check my pad everyday.
