Is it ok to run my heater when plugged into my house circuit. ( 15-20 amp)?

Maybe? Presumably you're using a conventional electric heater that you can plug into a normal household outlet. Presumably you're plugging your trailer in using its power cord and an adapter or a power cord rated for at least 15 amp (or 20, if appropriate) service. If you're using an extension cord, many are only rated for 12 amps - that wouldn't be a good choice.

No harm done - If it doesn't like that too many high current items are turned on it will just trip your house/garage 20AMP breaker. That is is what happens here at any rate...Roy Ken

Sorry about the lack of info. I'm using the trailer's power cord and was wondering if I could use the furnace in the camper. Plugged into a regular outlet in the garage.

Not sure why you are asking?:h the furnace fan and ignition are 12v and runs off the battery. The only thing plugging into shore power does is to keep the battery charged.but the heat comes from propane, not electricity.

I slept in my camper on Friday night. Camp driveway with a 1500w heater. Temps were low 30s and I was comfy on my rear bunk bed. A 400lb black bear was marauding our garbage and I didn't hear it. 30 amp plug to 15amp garage panel.
