Carol - what kind of an electrical cord arrangement did you have to connect the heaters outside via a separate electrical cord? Did the campground have the big round plug (30/50 amp)? If so, how did you plug the TM and another cord into that?
We camped in Columbia (gold country, CA) over Thanksgiving, and used an electric heater instead of the propane TM furnace. We used a clip-on electric fan to help circulate the air. The fan not only distributed the heat (the privacy curtains went away after the first night) but also helped the condensation problem. We also ran the fan in the rear bed area during the day to help dry things out.

B_and_D - The post had both 30 amp round plug in and a standard 3 prong 110 15 amp plugin with a circuit breaker. If there is no circuit breaker, make sure you have a surge protector for the line. Since the TM has all internal 110 outlets on one circuit, the breaker will pop if too much stuff is running at one time, like 2 heaters or a heater and a microwave oven, etc. This method worked well for us.
We will have to look into the fan for the bed area, if we can figure out how to hook it up and secure it back there - a clip on sounds feasible. We were already running an oscillating fan in the main area and still had condensation there when we only were running 1 electric heater.
Thansk, Carol
