Читать книгу RVs & Campers For Dummies - Christopher Hodapp - Страница 69

The electric fireplaces in many big RVs tend to get smirks from some people, who wonder why you don’t just start a campfire. But they’re cute, casting a pretty light at night, and more important, serving as an electric space heater. When you’re camping, you often come in wet and chilled. Heating your sitting area with an electric fireplace is very comfortable.

Of course, RVs have heating systems, but these fireplaces make a nice little addendum to it, particularly if you’re hooked up to shore power in a park. Firewood and furnace propane both cost you money, but an electric fireplace uses the campground’s electricity. So, if nothing else, they have a slight economic benefit.
