Space Heater
We use a small 1500W ceramic space heater that is not adequate. Today we looked a Lowes and saw a much larger heater, but is was also only 1500W. So my question is what kind of heater would be bette...

Nope, I run 100% electric heat at -34 f. My peak load is 7700 watts. I distribute the heat through the duct work by replacing the cold air return with twin window fans. I've added 2 auxiliary shore power cables, so my supply is 30 amp OEM, 20 amp, and 15 amp. I keep the propane furnace on but at a low temperature just in case there is a power outage.
I use electric heated carpets, oil filled heaters, a radiant heater as a back up should something need to be thawed, a fan heater, an electric mattress pad, and some "heat bars" (only 50 watts) next to the water pump.

Cferguson and one person mentioned a solution to running 100% electric heat.
Well I was likely the one using 100% electric, using the RV Comfort Systems Cheap Heat. This an add-on to the gas furnace, so heat is distributed the same way. On a 30 amp service I get 1,800 watts (6,138 btu)of heat, on a 50 amp service I get 5,000 watts of heat (17,050 btu) the 50 amp is running on 220 volts.
