The electric adaptor/coil is great IF you are not paying for the electricity. Electric coil heating is not the most efficient heating of all time. A lot of wasted electrical energy for the small of amount of heat you get out of it. This system might be OK If you are not paying for the electricity as I stated earlier. For those of us that pay for the electricity while 'snowbirding" it is not the way to go. We are in AZ and where we go it does get cool and sometimes cold but the propane is our best way to go. I may use the electric side of the water heater to get the water warm but will turn it off and rely on the propane to finish the job also but mainly use the propane for the furnace. We do use the fireplace to take the chill off in the mornings sometimes and a small ceramic heater to supplement the heat at times in the evenings before bed but very little use at night. We let the propane furnace do it's job of heating us and the underbelly most of the time when it gets cold.
