BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLUG IN HEATERS IN RV's (unless)
The reason for this is that the Uni-box or Quick Box Outlets are really not that good at double digit amperage (The standard 1500 watt heater is 12.5 amps I think) the punch down type connections they use are great for say a few milliamps of telephone current (common in phone systems) but at double digits there is not enough contact area between teh wire and teh outlet so it gets HOT. and things MELT.. I've not had a wire actually melt on me but others have. I have had "How wire smell"
I put in a pair of 15/20 outlets with 12ga wire bent around a well tightened screw.. Each one has a circuit breaker to itself (one 15 one 20. that is what I had open) and both of 'em .. LIke 12 years and not one evidence of overheat.
