    Best heater I found is being at 18 degrees north. ;)

     We've had some single-digit temps here in Baltimore (thanks, Canada).

    In my 30 footer I use an oil-filled unit as a primary heat source. It is
    beneath my salon table. The past several nights I've had to also use a
    ceramic heater. I have a fan blowing the heat into my v-berth. I've kept
    warm, nothing has frozen. The shrinkwrap and the insulation overhead &
    against the hull do help keep it cozy in here.

    The oil-filled units are terrific. My feet stay warm while sitting here at
    the table. Towels, wet socks & gloves dry quickly and do not burn or ignite
    when draped over the heater.

    Last year some plumbing in the cockpit lockers froze. This year I put a
    small Goldenrod in the lockers and nothing has frozen.
