We also use one of these when we have electric hookup, and a Mr. Heater (twin of the Mr. Buddy--both use the 1 lb. propane bottles) sold by Lowe's for about $60 for those times when we don't have the hookup.   Stephen

I use a Holmes portable heater/fan combination I got at Sears a few years back. I got it at closeout price but you can get them for around $20.

This is the model I have

I really like it and it doesn't blow the fuse for the Westy outlet. The only downside is that you have to have the plug in power source. It does have the auto shut off safety feature but its simple and I like it.
