Tyandkate,
That is why I replaced all the outlets in my RV. Even so I do not run 1500 watt heaters. I prefer to use the 900 watt or 600 watt setting on oil filled heaters.Tyandkate wrote:
So to reference the electric heater to plug in to the wall. I purchased one plugged it in to a surge protector for the breaker protection. It popped in ten mins the cord was very warm to touch and the prongs were so hot you could barely touch them. Moved it to a gfi plug same results. I returned it. I don’t want to lose my trailer over a heater. I got the idea for the add on heat strip because the service wire to the unit is larger than the wire used to the outlets.
I have a couple of small cube heaters. One is 700W/1400W, the second one is 350W/700W. I use the smaller one on low as long as it will meet the needs.
