Family visiting

[Fatboy2004]

We have a lot of family coming in for Thanksgiving. And not enough beds in the house. The RV is in the heated garage. Is it OK to the run the electric furnace in the RV to take the chill off over night. And have people sleep in it? It will be 23 degrees tonight outside.

Electric, certainly. As long as the guest(s) know what they're doing & keep their mitts off anything they shouldn't.

You got the amps available and on a dedicated circuit, heck yeah, if not you should be very careful, maybe install a additional circuit breaker that you can plug into just to be on the safe side if the draw creates too much heat on your house circuit.

As long as you don't let them turn on the RVs gas heat. MAybe put a good electric heater in RV one that shuts off if it gets tipped over.

Apparently his RV has an electric furnace built in.

Yep, yep, yep
Have done it several times, works great and it seems like the guests really enjoy it.
We turn the fridge on and put a few things in it, fill the tank up with water. Depending on the weather we'll show them how to run the heat pumps or the Oasis on electric.
Only take a few minutes to go over what they need to know to operate the MH.
