My rv is like many others with built in fireplaces, yes they are nice.
anyway, i noticed mine was making a weird noise and i, being the investigative type, took a look.
when i pulled off the front trim piece i saw the wood surround was almost charred and was oozing oils from teh wood and waxes. It was also very hot. It appaers the fireplce is either missing a heat shield or its placed to far back in the recess.
so iffin any you guys or gals got an rv with an electric fireplace and run the heater element you may want to take a look, I contacted the builder and they were less that what i say thrilled,
I fall asleep on my couch quite often and let this puppy run for hours, its nice, good thing i got a smoke alarm
