Furnace on shore power

Technology brings new gadgets every day.
Just last winter $32 bought me electric heater that I installed in my bathroom.
Green LCD displays time, you can set digital thermostat and program it to start in the morning.
On top of that comes with handy wall brackets that not only save floor space, but is safety measure as well.
Did I mention it looks cool and easy to set?
I had AC heat strip and never used due the blower noise.

Very very expensive 1500 watt heater. Why not go to walmart and buy a portable heater for under 35 dollars.

But, it comes with Two New 10 x 3 1/2 Screws for the grill. :B

NO

If you plan on using 1500 watt heaters it is good to replace the OEM 120 volt outlets with ones that have screw terminals. I've done all of mine except for the gfci in the bathroom.

If you dislike cords, check to see if the roof air conditioner happens to have a heat strip in it.

If and when my roof air fails I'll move to a heat pump.

For now I use oil filled heaters and electric carpets. I do most cooking on electric and run the fridge as often as I can on 120 volt too.

It is 2.4 C (36 f) outside and the rv is a toasty 25 c (77 f)

Simple answer NO

I have a couple of these low profile oil-filled heaters that run on 120VAC from Shore Power. Great to have around without having to run the very loud furnace blower.. Keep in mind however the Fyrnace would be needed if it goes down below freezing overnite to keep your Fresh Water tank OK...

I also run a separate extension cord to the shore power pedestal and use their 20A Service receptacle for the electric heaters. This does not take away from any of the 30A service feeding the trailer then...

Fan will run just fine .. but without propane you won't get any heat.
