Hi Phil,
I heated 100% electrically down to -36 C (-33 f) last winter. Peak demand was around the 6000 watt mark. I can meet that because I have a 50 amp "break out box", and three shore power cords (oem 30, a 20 and a 15 amp).
Last year I was using a PD 40 amp converter, and the solar panels did work to keep the battery bank topped up because the controller has a temperature probe for the battery bank. So far this year, the magnum inverter/charger, which has temperature compensation has more or less eliminated the solar. I do see a couple of amps.
