Re: [A/S] Plugging in an electric heater



My 79 27' Safari is docked at the farm in SW Wisconsin, for supplemental heat 
I have an oil filled radiator that I plug to help keep the use of propane 
down - (Note I only have the unit running, no tv or coffee pot at the same 
time, also running only while present in the trailer)  - also have used an 
electric ceramic cube heater in the past.  No problem with fuses or 
overloads.  Just please be careful with the use of the heater especially in 
such close quarters - the portable cube heater when I used it was on top of 
the metal stove cover well back from the edge of the stove.

Also have a propane ceramic heater that screws on the propane tanks you use 
for the propane torch for use around the house for emergency backup heat.  
Maybe redundant, but with the forecast this weekend for 17 on Sat and going 
down to 
-1  next week like have the comfort of extra ability to keep warm in an 
emergency.
