Pretty positive this time we turned AC off first. So when we started looking at a heater I was worried about a 1500 watt. Volts/Watts/Amps are not my strong point. |
You really have to be careful on the 30 amp service and the coach configuration finding the sweet spot to be able to use them. Remember that well back in the day. Burned out a few 30 plugs for darn sure in the learning process. Many folks opt to run an extension cord from the 20 amp plug especially for the heater. I think that is your best option. Find a place where you can pig tail it in and then all you have to do is connect from the outside.
