Electric heaters
This has probably been asked before, If so, sorry. Getting started early this year. I am looking to add an electric heater to help cut down on the propane use while plugged in. Are there any formula's...

We did not have a problem with the electric plugs in our trailer getting warm but with all the cool weather we had down in Florida several years ago we needed a way to run our electric heater without going through the trailers electrical system. I put in a waterproof outside receptical and an inside outlet in the side of our slide out. Now we can run the electric heater or other higher usage items like toaster or frying pan without worrying about tripping the trailers breaker when we turn on the water heater or air conditioner at the same time.
Works great!
The device that I used was this one from West Marine.

Quite a simple mod.
Nice. We used a oil space heater for out Thanksgiving camping trip, I just ran a dedicated extension cord under the slide out dinette seat and out the storage door.
I love your setup as a more permanent solution.
Worked great in 20 degree weather with all 3 tent beds open (we have a hybrid) and didn't have to worry about tripping breakers in the camper.
Worth every penny of the $40 bucks the heater cost me, with a timer and a remote!
