Doc, you indirectly bring up an issue that should also be discussed. Even if you could heat your motorhome solely with portable space heaters (could run two heaters on 30-Amp service if needed), it's probably a good idea to exercise the propane heater from time to time. It would be different if the RV was 100% electric, but as long as there is a propane system in place, I think I would run it occasionally whether needed or not.
I'm curious what the owners' manual says about idling these systems for long periods of time.
