Not all units have the heat strip installed. Mine does not.
Looking at the specs it seems like the heat strip puts out about 5000 BTU, same as an ordinary 1500 watt space heater.
The main propane furnace is the "big heat." Mine is 17,500 BTU.
If the trailer is well buttoned up 5000 BTU gets me about 20 degrees difference between the outside temp. You mileage may vary.
By "button up" I mean.
