Elec upgrade

[Stephen]

I have a fleetwood Valor and I'd like to have 2 elec circuts. The org. won't handle 2 elec heaters. We don't have Air,so could I use the air cond. slot and put another 15 amp circut in it's spot.

YEP!!!!! As long as you're doing it, you may want to consider putting in a 20A breaker. That way if you (or the next owner) want to add AC, the breaker will be there.

My Rockwood has 2 breakers, which is nice...:-()

Your other option, for running 2 heaters (and possibly a better one), would be to get yourself a 25' long 12G extension cord. That way, you can plug the camper into the 30A outlet and the extra heater on the separate 15A outlet (available in most campgrounds that offer electrical service).

The problem with running 2 heaters on the 30A power cable is the increased heat that can be generated. In a perfect world, that shouldn't be an issue with a good 30A cable plugged into a good 30A outlet but as you may well know...........this isn't a perfect world. A lot of 30A outlets at the CG are not in perfect condition. There is a chance that the single circuit breaker may blow in the middle of the night.

If you have the heaters on 2 separate breakers, you decrease the heat and worst case scenario, you may lose the power to one heater and not two.

My power center does not have 'conventional' breakers.
If it did, I'd have separated the front outlet from the rear/outdoor outlets.

Best Converters has breakers for WFCO power center if that is what you have! They have replacement breakers that are twin circuits. They also have the Ask Randy feature!
