Who installed your CHEAP HEAT?

Check into it a little further. If I am not mistaken you may run into the issue of not having full functionality due to the Vegas being a 30 amp system. I believe Cheap Heat will function on 30 amp but not to optimal performance.

It could be the issue is when wired in for 50 amp and the coach is plugged into 30 amp. I looked at it about 1.5 years ago so the memory of the research is a little vague right now.

I spoke with the manufacturer of Cheap Heat and he said the output on 30 amps is about 1800 watts. In my Vegas that would do a good job.
I ran an electric space heater rated at 1500 watts on a 30 degree night in our Vegas and it did great.
So 1800 watts of duct distributed heat would be pretty good for my application.
But Rusty is right 3600 watts would be far better

I just had Rolling Retreats install cheap heat on our new unit.

Here is a photo of the install from RR.

I also had it done by RVsforless. $1500. Use it all the time. As a matter of fact it just kicked on. We are in Galveston Island Rv Resort in Texas. Been full-time since June and haven't used any propane.
