Question:
I have a slide-in truck camper and looking for a way to heat the basement. The basement is about 8 high and the shape on the entire truck bed. It hold my grey, black, and fresh water as well as a few runs of water pipes. My propane heater does heat it OK but Im look for an electronic heater for that space. Any recommendations?

The Kat's Heaters # KH37100 that you'd looked at works very well, but at 900 watts of output it's more than you'd need for the small space you described.
I'd recommend going with a 12V heater like the # KH37500 which has a 150 or a 300 watt setting that should be perfect for the basement of your slide in camper since it sounds like you don't necessarily want the area to be heated to room temperature, but would like it warm enough so that the pipes and tanks don't freeze and the propane heater you use in the living area doesn't need to work as hard. This heater would accomplish that.
The heater measures about 6-5/8 inches tall, so it'll fit nicely and provides velcro fasteners to keep the heater in place. If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video featuring the heater I recommended.
