Tvov,
TC-er's use less house current electricity than most RV-ers. Why? Many of us are organized-campground-ophobics at heart and learn to rely on what we carry with us. That being said, we've used electric heat on a couple long winter TC trips in campgrounds: a little 1600 watt, 120vAC cube heater called the heat devil. Most of the campgrounds open in winter frown on anyone using electric heat because of their bottom line. Actually, I think electric heat, though very costly is a good way to go as it creates much less water vapor than propane. I remember one year in Moab, pre-TC, plying our rock crawler on a pile of very attractive rocks, we were living in large tent for the week. It was a very cold March that year in Moab. Jeanie said, "Take the Heat Devil along so you can get dressed in the AM without freezing". I said, "There's no way that little cube is going to heat up the 2 room tent with any dispatch". I was dead wrong. The tent heated right up, and the campgrounds' electric meter was buzzing and whirling to match. jefe
