Bob,
Considering that you are plugged into the HOST electricity, I would be running a couple of 120 volt heaters, electric blanket, and other heaters.
Like one on 800 watts near the fresh water tank and pump. It will at least keep the fresh water tank over 55F. That will lead to warmer showers.
800 watt heater (normal one on low heat setting) near where your water lines froze, such as under the kitchen sink.
Electric blankets are only about 35 - 45 watts.
You probably will need to run one 120 volt cord for each pair of heaters on low heat.
Fred.
Thats a great thought Fred, but the challenge is with the host electric is that I am lucky to have the one 15A circuit. And I have no idea how much load the customer already has on it. If I run a 1500 watt heater in addition to my converter, a light bulb in the fridge compartment, a heat tape on my dump plumbing, I will most likely trip the breaker.
Right now I am plugged into the shop I am working out of. One 15A plug but I am running my heater at 1500W. I have a key to the place and they showed me where the panel is in case I trip the breaker.
Heading to another city either later today of tomorrow. I have to park in the street in front of the house and run a cord out from the garage. Hmm. It will be a 15A plug there too
