My first marriage I spent more time talking to my dog than her.

I strive to be the man my dogs think I am.

Speaking of fireplaces, we had a very early 'mortgage burning' for our 5er last night. I hate owing any payments on anything though occasionally have to get on bended knee at the Credit Union and ask if they might consider a slight bit of spare change to carry us over for a short while.

Oh and that 'fireplace' in an RV - even my wife agrees with me that while it looks nice, the twenty buck heaters from TSC work better and the space could be used better for storage. Of course, that is only my/our opinion, others will differ

With the fireplace and two small heaters I can keep the 5th wheel at 74 deg and it will be snowing and 10 deg outside.

Thing about space heaters...your wiring. Be sure you don't overheat it.

Don't run more than one on circuit and don't leave it unattended.

Residential wiring goes a long ways and you may have it.

This is Victoria Bryant State Park in Royston, GA. We split most of the year between here and Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, GA.
