Yep, my 1600 Watt Propex gets our van nicely warm in less than 10 minutes.
The only thing I do find is that the standard Propex thermostat is too "course" in action, with just a nats whisker of a turn on the dial making a big difference to when it comes on / goes off.
Then it gets a bit too hot before it turns off and then it gets a bit too cold before it comes back on. The stat is in the usual mounting place in front of the end of the wardrobe (except we removed the wardrobe for more sleepy space
)
