    20A Receptical

    I was just looking through the manuals and instructions provided with the trailer and was looking at the WFCO booklet. The diagram show an output for a 20A receptical. Just wondering if I had one and which one it would be, without tracking down every outlet in the trailer(268BH), of which there are many.
    It would be nice to have one, especially in cold weather to run a ceramic heater. They can easily trip a 15A breaker when running on max heayt.

    The WFCO 20A outlet is part of the panel, the converter plugs into it on rear and 15A breaker feeds it.

    It would have to have a 20A breaker feeding it.

    I have been running my 1500W ceramic heater all winter from one of my 15A circuits (with nothing else on the circuit, of course). We can run our Keurig at the same time on the GFCI protected other circuit.

    And BTW, I only have 30A service.

    Is your ceramic heater greater than 1500 watts? 1500 watts will only draw 12.5 amps, maybe 1A more if it has a blower motor on it.
