Cheapheat install in a Winnebago
Has anyone installed the RVComfortSystems Cheapheat in a Winnebago product? If so did it have the propane furnace going into the plenum box from the side? I am ordering mine and was just wondering how...

The three available heat panel options draw some serious 120AC CURRENT so they will have to be installed on their own separate circuit breaker in your 120VAC Distribution panel.
The DH-50 puts out the most heat and draws 21.6 amps from each of two legs of 120-volt AC power. The middle unit (DH-37) draws 15.6 amps from each of two 120-volt AC legs and the smaller system (DH-18) draws 15.6 amps but from only one 120-volt AC leg, which makes it the only unit that can operate on 30-amp service. The other two require 50-amp service.
The large AC current drain will probably require some picking of what appliances you will get to use at the same time the heat is on otherwise you will be tripping some circuit breakers...
Just be sure to use its own designated 120VAC circuits.
