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...

Hi Gdetrailer,
I limit myself to 24 amps. There is no requirement that I do so. I paid a pretty penny for a hybrid inverter/charger that allows me to draw from my battery bank for items over that self imposed limit. I also paid for an autoformer to correct the lousy low voltage that many campgrounds offer us.
My point it is NOT theft.
BTW where I live about 90% of the energy comes from coal.
In my retirement condo, I'm using about 3 kwh per day. That is something of a swindle as I don't pay directly for water heating or space heating (both of those are natural gas fired, and are funded from condo fees).
My cost for electricity is about $0.142 cents per kwh or $12.78 per month. My bill is $39.00 because of delivery fees charged by the power company, city government, Provincial tax, City surcharge, Federal sales tax (GST), and a fake carbon tax. I don't know where you got the idea that in Canada the government is paying for delivery charges.
Should I bill the campground for the energy that my solar panels feed back into the system? Or is that the opposite of theft on my part?
At the moment I'm at a casino that offers free parking to RV's with 30 amp power. But the snow has made that impossible--so I'm in the "overflow" area and getting the 30 amps from two 15 amp shore power outlets. I'm heating the bedroom--and the front of the RV is not wonderfully warm. I could run a 3rd shore power cord--but I choose not to take advantage of their generosity.
I drive 78 kph because that saves the most fuel. (49 mph). I boondock whenever possible or logical.

The campground sets the price. If it includes power, then I am not "stealing". That idea is ludicrous.
Piano, your post really outlines the real truth of today's SELFISH VIEWS that the average human has now days.. The "what is in it for me" mentality of today pretty much ruins things for everyone tomorrow.
Your used to Canada's power, Canada may have a lot of "free" energy from "Hydro dams" but it too still has real costs to maintain and it is not free to generate and distribute that power, Canada gov absorbs that cost and ALL will eventually end up paying more for ALL of your goods..
