This one, the 16,000 btu Suburban NT-16SE, wants 2.8 amps when running. One hour of operation is 2.8 amp-hours, size your aux battery accordingly. Yes !!! Both of them !!! :o) 16,000 btu is a heck of a heater. Those in the heating/ventilation/air-conditioning biz know that oversized heaters can be a pretty inefficient way to heat a space. This is true. But Trade what Propex is how much Used RV furnace is how much? ;o_ The Propex models that Karl's page links to draw 1.4A to 1.9A for the little/big 6500/9500 btu/hr unit respectively. Lower current requirement, more money, less heat output, probably a lot quieter than the Suburban unit. (This last is a guess. I once had a tent camper with a Suburban type furnace in it. Not the quietest thing in the world. I've never heard a Propex but Karl states "very quiet operation.")
