We had the RV Cheap Heat in a previous rig and it was one of the first mods I performed on the new 340. It is a pretty simple install if you are comfortable with running new wires on the 120 side and splicing in on the 12 volt side. The first thig I did was to removed all the basement walls to gain access and make some other mods.
I installed the new plenum and heating element supplied in the kit. Wired in the control box to the unit and the rig. Wiring it in to the existing heater wiring uses connectors provided in the kit with very detailed instructions.
This unit is probably not for those who boondock as this uses quite a bit of power to run but a simple switch and you return to propane and 12 volt operation. I can now back the rig into the shop for the winter and not worry about changing propane tanks or having hot exhaust blow out on the wall of the shop.
