Will my space heater shut down my furnace?

[drillagent]

The furnace vents into the tank areas keeping the plumbing from freezing. But the temp sensor for the furnace is located in the bedroom. The furnace isn't very effective at heating anyway, so I need to supplement with the fireplace and space heaters.

How do I run a space heater in the bedroom without shutting down the furnace risking frozen plumbing? Is there a way to switch zones on the Dometic thermostat?

I recently changed out our Suburban SF35 furnace to a SF42Q series,night and day diff,super quiet and super efficient.It will heat you out of the place in 20/30 min.

Thats what we do. Will set the Propane furnace to kick in if the inside temp drops below 35-40 degrees or so.

Then we run a couple of the oil-filled portable low profile heaters plugged into the 20AMP service at the pedestal using an extension cord running into the trailer.

Using the 20AMP Service does not interfere with the 30A or 50A service you have the trailer plugged into.

We hate the loud BRRR noise the propane heater blower makes and hate to burn up all of my propane. Our oil-filled heaters only go CLICK ever now and then... The oil-filled heaters also do not give off burnt dust smell or have a visible red hot core or flame to deal with. If we need to move some air around we will use the O2OOL 10-inch AC/DC/D-CELL fans sitting behind the heater.


Its better for us to use the camp ground electric then our propane hehe...

Set the t/s to about 80 degrees?
