Anyone using a heat lamp to heat a 5th wheel basement? Results? Size bulb?

I use one these little 200 watt heaters. It's not hot enough to melt anything but kept my wet bay at 54 degrees in 21 degree weather and no other heat supply turned on.

Go on Amazon and look up reptile heaters. They are 60-80W heaters with no light-output. You should find them at pet stores if you need one today.

This method will keep the storage area (basement) warm, but not the tank area. If you are residing in the trailer, running the furnace will generally keep the tanks and piping from freezing(if the bottom of the trailer is enclosed).
