Heater Temp

[CForest]

I just bought a new Mirage 28' extreme sport with the deluxe package. Which came fully insulated and has a radiant heater already installed. My question is how warm should I expect it to get in there? I turned it on the other night after a ride and by the next morning it had taken the chill off by quite a bit but still lots of old snow and ice in there. Temps did get down to single digits outside and had 4 snowy & icy sleds in there. Never had a heater like that (other than a buddy heater) so just not sure what to expect. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are u talking a forced air furnace like a rv or like a blue flame witch u can see the flame? If it's a forced air u shouldn't have A hard time keeping it at 70

No air, just a radiant heater. Takes no power at all which I really like. But I may need to add a couple small fans just to get that air moved around.

Buy a couple 12v fans like the truckers mount on their dash should help. Still should be able to get it to 60 maybe 70 if u can get enough air moving. Also crack a window or vent for moisture to get out.

+3 on fans. That key to getting the snow to melt. In my experience you won't get the snow to melt off of the lower part of the sled short of letting it run for a few days.

I run a 3 way extension cord into my trailer after a ride and plug in the charge, 750w electric heater, and 120v box fan. Along with the propane heater in the trailer that seemed to get the sleds mostly melted in a day or two.
