Our TT is comfortably warm and evenly heated from front to rear. An installation like this is not for the average DIY-er tho.
Will the 2000W keep the TT comfortable down to 0f? I know there are a few guys on the Forum that are trying to go pretty much "all-electric". An advisement that a conventional trailer can be heated with appliances and be comfortable at low temps would be a good jumping off point for the DIY'er.
Yes, the typical RV receptacles are ****! It doesn't take much for an untidy installation to wreak havoc with the connections. The SC receptacles are rated for 15 amps but again, wire size and installation can be an issue. It is probable that not all SC receptacles are of the same quality. Here's a Pass Seymour SC receptacle for comparison: PS 15 amp SC receptacle
Fwiw, when I restored the Starcraft, I used shallow new work boxes and conventional duplex receptacles. Don't need problems if I can avoid them.
