No, they are illegal for use in an RV or cargo, whichever you consider your TC. Federal offense. As soon as you plug it in, it senses that it is being used illegally and sends a signal to FBI headquarters. Within minutes the black helicopters are dispatched to your location, and you are never heard from again.
Hope you don't mind me having a little fun at your expense, but why would you think that it would be any different in the TC versus at home? Obviously you need a practical source of electric power, i.e. a generator or shore hookups, but other than that, it will be no different than at home.
It's a resistive heating appliance so you'd need substantial solar and battery capacity to run one without a generator or shore power, but it could be done.
The biggest issue is finding a place to keep it in the TC.
