Electric heaters
Does anyone know of a electric heater with more than 1500 watts?
Forum Discussion
Hi Dennis,
For 240 volts yes.
For 120 volts it is not a great idea, but I do know of one. It does have to be hard wired in place, and is quite pricey.
If you plan on using a 1500 watt heaters I would include as part of the plan upgrading the "junk" 120 volt outlets in the RV.
I prefer oil filled heaters and electric heated carpets. I use 1/2 size oil filled that draw about 460 watts.
I've added 2 additional shore power cords--one is 20 amp, the other is 15 and I use them to run additional heaters. I plug them into a "break out box" intended for a 50 amp pedestal.
As Mex suggests, hard wired is a better solution.
