Any one ever added electric heat to there rooftop unit? curious as a option to heat up the camper a bit with out the need of gas. Just curious if anyone uses it and the results.

I agree with Chris that I don't trust the cheap standard outlets to run my small cube heater. What I did was to install two new outlets in my trailer.
One is in the slide out, so it's wired to the outside, with a male plug that I can plug into a good ( yellowjacket ) short extension cord to the 20A outlet at the CG power pedestal. As such, it completely bypasses the trailer wiring system.
The second outlet comes off a newly added breaker in the load center. I use it for times like right now, where I am camped, the CG power ped only has a 30A plug.
I use a small "cube" heater ( 700W/1400W ) and can meet most all my heating needs on the low setting.
