Electric Heater Recommendation Needed
RE: 2000 Winnebago Minnie Winnie, 30 ft., no slide, 30 AMP I am currently using a Lasko ceramic tower heater and want to know if there is a better option and can I make two heaters work? THANKS!

I plug an extension cord into the outside 110-outlet located on the shore power pedestal, along with my 30amp cord; the extension cord is then run thru my pass-thru storage compartment into the RV main cabin.
I plug 1-space heater into the extension cord and run it at 1,500 watts in my main cabin, and plug a second space heater into an RV outlet and run that at 1,500 watts in my bedroom. Having 2-power sources, 1-from the 30amp hookup and 1-from the 110-outlet on the outside pedestal, allows me to have about 1,600 Watts or so to use for other things.
Keeping in mind that the refrigerator, which is always running, will take up some of the available power you receive from the 30amp hookup. The key to my setup is to be able to run an extension cord from the outside pedestal into the RV without letting a lot of cold air into the RV. My fresh water hose hookup, satellite and cable hookups, are all inside of the pass thru storage so I just run the extension cord into the RV the same way that I run the fresh water hose into the RV storage compartment. It works very well for me.
Here is the heater I use.
