heating electrically a "back yard" report
Hi, This is a test of a cold soaked RV, ambient temperature -31 C (-23.8 f) The test started at 2:00 but I had difficulty getting the cords "run". I'm plugged into one 30 amp and two 15 amp outlets...

Hi Brian,
Fortunately the campsite comes with "all you can eat" power. I'll try to do a "history" for you as my watt meter does track usage. (if I can figure the darn thing out.)
Wattage has dropped down to about 3800 now, which makes it clear it would be extremely hard to do this with just a 30 amp service. Fortunately I have the 30 amp oem, 20 amp auxiliary, and 15 amp auxiliary shore power cords.
Time to go run a cord to plug in the block heater on the car.
