Older RV heater question

[Mudslinger]

Just had a 1996 22' RV totaled by hail that would not run an electric heater unless it was on low. If I cranked it up more than half way, it blew fuses in the trailer. My RV mechanic said this particular trailer was set up to not accept the draw like the electric heaters used. I tried a few different models with no luck on any of them. The big 5th wheel I had would run 3 of them wide open with no problems.

Check the heater each trip before you use it. Mice seem to prefer it for their nests. Trailer fire and deaths a few years ago near Crowell due to this.

The 120V light will have a household type of light bulb and the 12V will have a auto type of bulb

Some of the older trailers also have the same type of a19 bulbs that would go in a house but they are 12v instead of 120v.
