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...

I got rid of my insulation displacement connectors and sleep very well knowing that the wiring is held in place by being wrapped around a screw and tightened. Jamming a copper wire into a slot makes for a connection dependent on a sheared edge holding it with just the spring tension of the part. I took my own good advice and took out the trash.
I too am one who installed two new outlets in my trailer. I did one install similar to Barney's install for my space heater. The second outlet I installed is for the sat dish receiver, TV set and sound bar. That outlet comes off a new breaker in the power panel.
I replaced the outlet up in the overhead cabinet that runs the microwave, because that outlet also runs the coffee maker now.
Like Lynnmor states, I like the wire wrapped around a screw that is tightened.
As to space heaters, I also found at Best Buy a little, I call it "half a heater". It is 350W on low and 700W on high. I like it for those long cloudy cool days when it's maybe 50 degrees outside and I just need a touch of added heat to keep it comfy inside.
The other space heater is a 600W/1200W. My trailer is small ( 19' ) so it's easy to heat with just the 600W most of the time.
