This heater protects your critical equipment from freezing in your RV or boat. It keeps those mid-size spaces at the right temp with an automatic thermostat. And the quick-release bracket lets you install or remove the heater when the seasons change.
Water lines split open when they freeze. Batteries lose charge faster in the cold. Engines, pumps, and other critical systems might not survive those nights that fall below zero. That's exactly what this heater was built to prevent. At 600 watts, it has the power to keep medium-sized RV basements and boat engine compartments above freezing, and the forced-air design pushes heat into the corners where damage usually starts.
This kit includes a quick-release bracket, designed for RVs and boats where seasonal swaps matter. Instead of unbolting the heater in the spring, just pull the latch to release it and stow it away. When cold weather returns, drop it back into the bracket and it secures in place. The anodized aluminum bracket resists corrosion, so it can stay mounted all year without worry. Plus, the heater itself comes with a 15' marine-rated cord with a standard plug attached, so you've got some length to place it where you need (and you don't need to hardwire anything).
You have better things to do than sit there watching a gauge. That's why the thermostat is fixed to switch on at 40ºF and shut down at 55ºF, which is the range that keeps your plumbing, batteries, and tanks safe. It's high enough to stop freeze damage, but it doesn't waste energy making it warmer than you need.
Putting any electrical gear in an enclosed space can make people cautious, especially around fuel. This unit is ignition-protected, which means it's been tested to make sure it won't ignite fuel vapors in engine compartments or bays. For boaters, that's critical for safety when mounting in the bilge. For RV owners, it means reliable operation even in tight spaces where safety standards really matter.

Great heater that I will use in my RV tank area during cold weather. You pay more to buy the best. I have one of these for our boat that we don’t winterize and new had a problem. Etrailer is a great company to buy from . Fast shipping and they keep you informed.
Abbey at etrailer was so helpful. We were in a panic because the temp was going to drop to record levels in this area and our hot water heater had broke the day before. So, there was not going to be any heat in our compartments under our coach. Abbey helped get us the Xtreme Heater RV Basement extra quick. We are so grateful for her help. The Xtreme Heater is wonderful. It kept our compartments warm and we had nothing to worry about. We are so happy with our purchase. We will never be without the Xtreme again.

Glad you are liking it, Thomas! These are still pretty new to us, but we are hearing a lot of good feedback from people that have owned them for a while now. What kind of RV are you going to installing it in?
