Hi Jared,

Yes, your coach will support a 1000 watt electric heater running either off of shore power or you generator. Just know that 1000 watts is not much heat, less than 4000 btus. Your furnace puts out 30,000 to 40,000 btus.

The wiring in the coach will accommodate a 1000 watt space heater with fan will it not?

I found an Alvin Wall Hugger heater at Goodwill today that works great in the house and I think it would be great to use over the winter to keep the
interior of the coach above freezing temps.

Wanted to get the forums opinion as I don't want to burn anything down.
