    Here is what we used our 5 Wide to take the chill off at night and keep the air dry. Of course this only works where you have shore power.  It is 400 Watts. Fully automatics. Digitals temp setting. Once set. The element and the fan stop and start just like a house furnace. We have not used it in the TAB yet. But with the size it is. It will always be with us.

    AWESOME! Would you mind sharin where you got it from, brand, etc?
    Here you go.

    I think he said he was using shore power. No exhaust to check! ;-)

    But, he could still have been using propane for the Alde, even on shore power, right?  Also, if he cooked inside using the propane stove, it could have a blocked exhaust vent.

    Well, I thought he said he used the Alde with electric only...

    Verna, I'm not sure what you mean re the stove. There's no exhaust vent with the stove.

    I've found we'll get more condensation when the Alde is set to a lower temp, especially if it's not extremely cold out. I think the warmer setting warms the surfaces a little more, preventing condensation.

    That's right, it's the 3 way 'frig that has the two exhaust ports on the front of the T@B S

    Ah! Good point. If the 3way is not venting properly, that would be a worry.

    I believe there's a test button on the CO/propane detector. Remember to test your detectors folks...

    Thanks, Lark - we agree, and plan to have our dealer check the exhaust even hough we never ran Alde on propane (we don't use propane at all, for anything).
