Freezin our butts off!!
Hello all, spending our first winter in our 36' Damon pusher. Our furnace is busted and I'm trying to heat with space heaters. The heater in the bedroom works great but I can't seem to warm the living...

This is important because you don't want to destroy your mh electric by plugging into a 240 volt pug as quite a few have.
We don't have 50 amp 240 volt service. You have two 50 amp legs and a common ground. 100 amps total but on two legs unless you have a Prevost or other with two fifty amp cables and 100 amp service.
Don't hit your mh with 240 Volts. It might burn up but will msot certainly be expensive if the breakers can't handle it.
Actually it's 2 120V hot legs with a common NEUTRAL.
You may be thinking of a 30A RV plug which is physically similar to the common house hold dryer 30A 240V plug. Some have wired the 30A RV plug with 240V and wish that hadn't done so.
