Electric heaters for travel trailers
Can someone provide some information on they type of electric supplemental heat you use in your RV. This is in lieu of using propane over extended stays.

PHILNOAH - A couple of your posts on here mentioned that the heaters draw too much current and they sometimes have to turn them off to maybe run the coffee pot on the same breaker...
To get around this problem I use a heavy extension cord and run it to the camp ground 20AMP Pedestal 20AMP Service. This is on its own circuit breaker and will not interfere with your Trailer SHore Power Connection.
You may have to figure out an easy way to run this extension cord into your trailer but does have a big plus running your portable electric heater from its own circuit breaker and not overload any of your trailer 120VAc circuits.
Some camp grounds may not allow multiple connections going to the trailer.
Just another idea that works well for us... Some folks like the idea its better to use the CG electric for heat instead of using their propane fuel haha...
