The engine block heater runs off A/C power only. It would only be available if you were plugged into shore power or running your generator. It would not have any affect on your batteries either good or bad.
That's what I guessed and hoped. Tried to call my contact at Tiffin but they have ice and snow and sent all the employees home.
Thanks

You need the block heater in Alabama?
Or are you going north to cold country
I have the MH in storage but have a power connection. Try to run engine and generator every weak or so. Had difficulty Monday morning last week, when the temp was 13. Global warming has not been fair to
us this Winter. Expecting 11 tonight.

Is the 'block heater' plugged into the outlet in 'electrical bay'....which I believe is what that console switch turns on/off
Block heater is 120V AC
Good point. Haven't seen any receptacle that looks guilty and I, honestly, haven't done a search, but I expect it will be hard wired. Hopefully, when Tiffin reopens I can get an answer.
