Wire size on 30 amp RV cables
Do the commercial 30 amp RV cables you purchase from Camping World, Walmart, etc use #10 gage wire or larger? I have 2 of these, both 25 feet long and noticed a 10 volt drop when running the heat pump...

I bet that electric heat really draws the current and is your reason for voltage drop...
When we are using our setup in the cold weather we try to use the 20AMP PEDESTAL service at the camp grounds using a second HD Extension cord running into the trailer to just run our portable electric heaters. This 20AMP service doesn't pull power from the same leg the 30A source is using to feed the trailer.
Helps a bunch for us...
