Our RV garage in winter is typically 47 degrees of above. We store our 21’ boat in garage and this year we did not winterize it assuming the temperature would remain above freezing. Prior to going on a weeks vacation I checked the garage temperature gave and it was at 35 degrees with the temperature dropping. I checked the boat’s engine compartment and the engine was right around 34 degrees. I wrapped the engine in a large blanket and put a floor radiant heater on the floor near the engine and outdrive area. My wife did a quick search on Amazon and we found this heater. Amazon delivered it in two days, just in time as the deep freeze hit. I set it up in a safe spot in the engine compartment and plugged it in. I disconnected the portable heater. OMG, the temperature in the engine compartment came up to 60 degrees in about 2 hours. I checked on it for the next two days prior to leaving on vacation and it was keeping the engine compartment at 55-60 degrees. The outside temperatures during the following two days were a low of 14 and high of 24. The heater did its job as designed. I just checked it after 1 week and the green light is back on and the heater off. The temperature in the engine compartment is a comfortable 60 degrees. Note, our temperatures in winter seldom get into the 20’s and usually are mid thirties and above. I would never have suspected our RV garage to dip as cold as it did. After living here since 2003, I was surprised at this extreme weather pattern. This product is excellent. It’s rugged, easy to set up and durable. I know this heater saved my boat engine from freezing. Money well spent.
